GUNS N' ROSES Facing More Than $100,000 In Fines For Breaking London Curfews
October 16, 2010According to The Sun, GUNS N' ROSES is facing a fine of more than $100,000 after breaking 11 p.m. concert curfews at the band's two concerts at the O2 arena in London this past week.
GUNS N' ROSES overran the curfew with both their shows (October 13 and October 14) by a total of three hours.
When LADY GAGA broke her 11 p.m. curfew at the same venue by 25 minutes last February, she was hit with a £10,000 fine — which comes out to £400 a minute.
By that calculation, GUNS N' ROSES could now be fined £72,000 (approximately $115,000).
An O2 spokesman confirmed to The Sun that the promoters would incur a cost for the late finishes.
This latest drama follows the controversial GUNS N' ROSES August 2010 gigs at England's Reading and Leeds festivals, where the band came onstage late despite warnings from the promoters, and had both sets cut short.
On September 1, GUNS N' ROSES walked off the stage in Dublin, Ireland just 22 minutes into its set — after keeping fans waiting for well over an hour for the group to begin playing. The band returned an hour later to perform to a diminished crowd.
