UPDATE

1:37 PM PT -- A source familiar with the situation tells TMZ ... Green Day was running 15 minutes behind due to the fireworks debacle during Green Day's set. In turn, this caused Travis Scott's set to begin 5 minutes late. He had been at the festival for hours before going on.

Travis Scott's carefully curated Cactus Jack-themed Coachella didn't come without a price ... the hip hop headliner cost the festival's organizer $20,000 for squeezing out a few extra minutes!!!

A rep for the city of Indio tells TMZ Hip Hop that Goldenvoice will be charged $20,000 for one night of missing the curfew timeline, on Saturday, April 12, when Travis was on center stage.

It was the only fine issued for Goldenvoice across both Coachella weekends and Stagecoach festival, which went down on April 25 - 27.

Weezer Jillian Lauren Leaning on Scott Shriner ... First Sighting Since Arrest

Published | Updated

Jillian Lauren's leaning on her husband, Scott Shriner, during this difficult time -- quite literally -- in her first sighting since being arrested for the attempted murder of a cop, using her husband to help her traverse their driveway.

The Weezer bassist's wife was seen leaving their home in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles Wednesday afternoon ... holding tightly to his wrist with one hand while carrying a red leather travel bag on her right arm. No injuries are visible, but she may be needing the extra support due to a gunshot wound to her shoulder following her police encounter earlier this month.

The two are packing up the car ... unclear where they're going -- but, we doubt it's far given the charges facing Lauren.
