However it's pretty ballsy to reconfigure a 2021 tour with such promotion and boldness at full capacity without an sure fire confirmation that
1. GA pits will be allowed in states like WA and NY
2. The show will be cleared for full capacity
3. Let fans book hotels/flights/rentals without knowing if vaccinations and or covid tests will be required within a period before the show.
Obviously things are fluid but can you imagine if 10% of gorge travelers are anti vaxers and they are told a few weeks before the show they need a negative covid test within 48 hours of the first night of the gorge in Washington?
There is no context and a strong affirmation on key destination venues by the band. This could end horrible from a PR perspective if some variant beats the vaccines or things spike up in mid summer.
DMB fans are running around acting like the band proposed to them with 2021 dates and people are all "see you at spac, see you at deer creek, see you at the gorge im renting my RV now!"
