2021/COVID Venue Policies
It doesn’t sound like the band or the WH is going to be putting out COVID policies / precautions - maybe that’s why it wasn’t in the announcement.
Here’s what I got from the Warehouse when I asked: “Hey Chad! Closer to the event date, check out the venue website for this detail. Warehouse Crew” Basically sounds like it’s up to whatever the venue wants to do/whatever the state is doing at that point. |
Re: 2021/COVID Venue Policies
I feel more comfortable wearing a mask either way. Don’t mind it at all.

Re: 2021/COVID Venue Policies
Here is NY as of now https://www.governor.ny.gov/sites/de...rd35j3vkJK-G_c
20% Capacity 250sq ft space for groups of 4 or 100 per person 6’ between groups Vaccine or negative test required Masks of course Got a longgggg way to go IMO before these shows happen |
Re: 2021/COVID Venue Policies
The band/WH, venues and promoters will clearly have no choice but to adhere to whatever policies and protocols are put into place by state/local authorities. I don’t expect any uniformity state to state, venue to venue. COVID challenges and variants are constantly changing. It’s way to early to accurately predict what will be, or not be, 3 months from now.
“Though we would like to believe we are, we are not in control.....” |
Re: 2021/COVID Venue Policies
This just confirms to me the need to wait and see about Gorge and SPAC. I dont see many closures over the summer but I dont want to make firm travel plans to states more likely to limit gatherings.

Re: 2021/COVID Venue Policies
For Arkansas
- We don't have a mask mandate - Restaurants, bars, gyms and large venues no longer have capacity restrictions - And Arkansas is around the bottom, I think about 46th in the country for vaccination So basically it's a free for all/super spreader event at the Arkansas show. |

It read more like a "I want to go to places without restrictions because I'm a badass" :lol |
Re: 2021/COVID Venue Policies
Realistically, with all venues being sold to capacity, ANY restrictions that reduce capacity would have to result in the show being cancelled....right?

Re: 2021/COVID Venue Policies
Riot is correct. I dont want to commit upwards of a $1000 to travel to a state that may say I can't go when the time comes.
Though I would have no problem going to an event with absolutely no restrictions. Since my shows as of now are in NC and GA I just might have shows without restrictions :lol |

All the 2 nighters this year are after school starts so it makes it tougher to go for me. |

Maybe the band will do a live stream of a show at some point this year like they did in the past. They have to understand not everyone wants to risk it at this point. |

But I have an autoimmune child. All it takes is me catching it from one ofthese people and bringing it home, and my child would be dead. So your definition of “just fine” and mine are vastly different. To each their own, but I take it a little more seriously. That’s why my show plans are not set in stone |

Re: 2021/COVID Venue Policies
I got free cancellation hotels and and going to be under the assumption that this tour could get delayed again until the venues and or WH/DMB Site has clear guidelines about what will be required at entry and if the states will offically allow GA pit type setups for venues and allow 100% capacity.
I am honestly shocked the band announced with confidence that they will be back for 2021 without any release from livenation and plans for every single venue. Also I honestly don't see how they can enforce a potential mask mandate with crowds being anywhere from 10K to 30K+ across the tour board. Especially for pits and the lawn. I really am under the assumption that masks won't be required and or if required will be impossible to enforce. DMB 2021 could be one of the best surprise summer/fall tours ever or the biggest debacle or getting fans hopes up only to delay the tour or cancel a % of the tour in states like NY and WA that may have rule changed or lockdowns based on their local Govt's worries about covid. |

This is really going to be the key challenge for states that do not have a high adoption rate for the vaccine. The hope has to be on seasonality keeping the virus at bay - and I think there’s good reason to bank on that - but the lower a state’s vaccination % is, the more likely a rebound in spread is. Especially when you begin to consider large scale events with possible interstate travel. Now, on the other hand, if you are vaccinate and wear your mask, your odds of contracting or spreading it are super low. But obviously someone in Chad’s situation will have to exercise extreme caution. And it’s that bit which makes this a never ending task of navigating all the complexity of a pandemic; even as things are “better” |

Since the one I’m going to this year is in Arkansas, I can drive home afterwards Makes it a little easier to change plans last minute if needed |

Time will tell but the announce before we have state guidelines is completely opposite of what Stefan and Dave and Jeff have expressed vocally in the last year as they have taken the virus serious and alluded to proceeding with music with caution. |
Re: 2021/COVID Venue Policies
If I recall correctly May 3rd is the next round of tests per county in WA state.
That will tell if a county can advance or "fall back" to a tighter restriction. Currently there is no Phase 4 in WA State. Most counties are in Phase 3. 3 counties fell back to Phase 2 last round of checks. Gorge is in Grant County. Current restrictions would place Gorge at 25% per section or a max of 9000 whichever is less. https://www.governor.wa.gov/sites/de...20Guidance.pdf Phase 3: Outdoor Venues Outdoor venues with seating (permanent or temporary) that meet the following requirements may exceed 200 people maximum attendance: - A facility must have individual designated seating capability. Open, unreserved seating not allowed. - A facility must have controlled entrances and exits and the ability to monitor exact attendance. An outdoor venue that meets those requirements may: - Open to a capacity of 25% per section or 9,000 spectators maximum, whichever is lower. Hopefully May 3rd will show further reduction of the spread of the virus. - J |
