Don’t you worry child… said Indio officials to EDM trio Swedish House Mafia after they played for 30 minutes after the midnight curfew took effect in Indio, California, last Sunday. According to NBC Palm Springs, the city of Indio decided not to fine Goldenvoice, Head Trip‘s organizer, for going past curfew. Moreover, city officials stated that due to severe weather, they decided to waive the potential $48,000 curfew fines.
Head Trip Lightning Alert
The Goldenvoice two-day festival took attendees back to Coachella grounds, inside the Empire Polo Club, this past weekend, October 10 and 11, 2026. However, inclement weather warnings had started throughout the week. As a result, Calvin Harris set had to be postponed when a thunderstorm hit the grounds Saturday evening. His set was rescheduled for the following evening. This pushed the itinerary past its schedule by about 30 minutes. Swedish House Mafia still closed the festival, however.
Under normal circumstances, the city of Indio could fine the festival $1600 per minute after curfew. But given weather conditions and the itinerary changes, Indio ultimately did not fine Goldenvoice. Gracefully, Swedish House Mafia completed their set after Harris’ nostalgic makeup set.
The festival served as a nod to early 2010s electronic music, with headliners such as Skrillex, SWM, and Calvin Harris. Furthermore, more contemporary artists joined the lineup, including Peggy Gou, Dom Dolla b2b Kettama, and Under Construction (Fisher & Chris Lake).
