    It's 2020 all over again. I hope this doesn't start a domino effect. 
    Live music keeps me going and will be sickened if I lose another year of 0 live shows

    If people get the vaccine and wear a fucking mask, we could have nice things.

    I do expect covid cesspool states to have to stop big events like this though.

    This is all voluntary at this point. Stupid people ruining things for all of us. 
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    Unfortunately it’s a given that this won’t be the only cancellation. I expect more to follow.

    Louisiana also has a 37% fully vaccinated rate as opposed to 59% in New Jersey

    Regional vaccination rates could play a role in a festival deciding to mandate Vaccines to enter vs just canceling totally (number of refund requests etc)

    well, if that's the case, we're absolutely f*cked. No one will see PJ this year.

    Just require the vax for these events or proof of negative test like other events have. No more shutting down the world.

    Agreed.  I’m at the point where I’m ready to say No Vax, no entry.  Eliminate the negative test even.

    Agreed.   Guess I'll look forward to the next cancellation notice that is imminent.

    This *nation* has become a tiring, loathsome and pathetic gathering of humans.   I live in a state that is around 37% vaccinated also, and waiting for the superspreaders to head back through it on their way back from Sturgis.

    Sports are playing with full stadiums. I know ga is a little different than seated but if baseball can play every night with stadiums no reason why in a vaccinated area festivals cant continue.  Gonna suck if shn gets pushed back again

    sporting events there is a little bit of restraint based on seats.  at a festival with GA only, thats not restrainable.   im real curious what data is derived from Lollapalooza, that looked crazy

    well, the concert industry is about to get shut down AGAIN thanks to the selfish anti-vaxxers and "my freedum" Trump worshipers. Independent venues barely survived last year and their about to get shut down again and may be closed for good. I live in a state where no one is taking it seriously. I wear a mask while out in public and people are looking at me like I'm crazy.. hardly anyone is wearing a mask. by the way people are handling this, this will never go away and  we won't see Pearl Jam till 2023 or 2024... not to mention some of your favorite venues probably won't exist anymore.

    NJ and California are two of the highest vaccinated states. Reward those states and the people that got vaxxed and do not make those made the right choice have to pay for those that did not.

    Sucks.  I was locked in for weekend one.  I expect the message that Ohana will require vaccine proof.  I sure hope so since I don’t have tickets yet, but the prices will drop.

    I agree that all concerts, sporting events, restaurants, air travel, bars, schools, etc. need to be for the vaccinated only. Yes, you have a right to not be vaccinated, and nobody is going to inject you against your will or arrest you for not getting a shot...but you do not belong in society. Stop being such selfish assholes! Stop fucking everything up for everyone. Go sit home alone and worship your cult leader and wallow in your willful ignorance. Let the rest of the world continue without you.

    New Orleans is arguably the worst city in the country right now for COVID.  I don’t think this will automatically lead to the cancellation of everything again, especially with Lola just happening
