Delta variant cases continue to rise in the U.S. and Live Nation is tightening their restrictions.
The updated policy after Lollapalooza.
“Vaccines are going to be your ticket back to shows …” president/CEO Michael Rapino said. “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.”
This all goes in effect October 4th, which also marks the deadline for all employees to be fully vaccinated, and the company is offering paid time off for every appointment for the vaccination.
“Our business and our industry is about uniting people and vaccines are one of the greatest tools for making sure that everyone can continue to enjoy live music together,” Rapino said. “We’ve gone through a lot this past year and it’s remarkable to see how far we’ve come.”
