Live Nation to require vaccination, negative test for fans, artists at all shows

Live Nation has announced that starting October 4th, artists and audiences will require proof of full COVID-19 vaccination or a negative COVID test to be admitted to any of its venues and festivals.

“vaccines are going to be your ticket back to shows” 

Live Nation employees will have to be vaccinated to work in person at shows and at corporate offices starting on the same date.

“Vaccines are going to be your ticket back to shows, and as of October 4th we will be following the model we developed for Lollapalooza and requiring this for artists, fans, and employees at Live Nation venues and festivals everywhere possible in the US,” Michael Rapino, president and CEO of Live Nation Entertainment told NBC.

AEG goes even farther

On Thursday, AEG, the US’s second-largest concert promoter and the producer of Coachella, Stagecoach, Firefly, Day N Vegas, and dozens of major festivals, theaters, and clubs announced that it will only let fully vaccinated patrons into shows.

Starting Oct 1st, AEG will no longer allow negative testing as an alternative for entry.
