Coachella Weekend 1 Less Rowdy Than Last Year ... Fewer Arrests, Citations

It looks like people were better behaved at Coachella Weekend 1 this year ... because arrests were down significantly compared to last year, TMZ has learned.

Indio PD released their data from the festival's first installment ... and they say they only clocked 81 arrests in their system between Friday and Sunday -- which is pretty damn low compared to years past, especially 2023.

That's down 20% from the 102 arrests made last year. There was also a small smattering of citations issued -- just 47 -- and they're all handicap parking related ... down 43% from last year.

KENDALL JENNER 818 TEAM ACCUSED OF AC/DC MURAL DAMAGE ... Sources Say It's BS

Kendall Jenner's 818 Tequila brand has stirred up a storm at Coachella -- 'cause a local bar owner claims her team ruined a beloved mural of theirs ... even though we hear it's BS and have seen the contract saying they actively agreed to and acknowledged the potential for damage.

A watering hole in Indio, CA called Club 5 Bar let Kendall and co. set up shop at their establishment last week for a pop-up attraction to plug 818 ... complete with a bunch of custom decor and decorations ... including a massive decal-like sign on the outside.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

It looks like they painted 818 branding all over the wall, but they didn't -- it's actually a separate piece they slapped on top of the wall ... which is why the owner is now pissed. You see, there's an AC/DC mural underneath that they recently had installed, which he claims is now damaged as a result of how the 818 team set this whole thing up and left it behind.

COACHELLA Weekend 1 Was Nice & Quiet (And Brief) ... No Curfew Fines!!!

Coachella kicked off its first weekend on a high note ... managing to rack up a grand total of $0 in curfew fines, which seems to line up with how many tickets were still up for grabs.

A rep for the City of Indio -- where Coachella takes place -- tells TMZ ... no curfew rules were broken during the first installment of the festival, and everyone stuck to the 1 AM curfew for Friday and Saturday ... while shutting things down by midnight on Sunday.

In other words ... there was no reason to fine anyone for going over on time -- and considering the lackluster response to this year's lineup ... we suppose that makes sense.
