As such, the festival will now require masks and proof of vaccination or a negative Covid test. It was always the plan, as stated on the festival’s website, to follow Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Philadelphia city guidance, Desiree Perez, the CEO of RocNation, which runs Made in America, told the Guardian. On Wednesday afternoon, Philadelphia officials unveiled sweeping new Covid restrictions, including masks and vaccination proof for all indoor businesses, and mask mandates for unseated outdoor festivals. Philadelphia’s Made in America music festival, expected to draw between 50,000 and 60,000 people on Labor Day weekend for such A-list music acts as Justin Bieber, Megan Thee Stallion and Lil Baby, had held off on announcing Covid restrictions until this week, deferring to city guidance. The ground beneath organizers’ feet has been shifting quickly, as state and local municipalities react to surging case numbers and, in some states, ICUs once again full of Covid patients. Artists from Jason Isbell to Lucinda Williams to Japanese Breakfast have said they will only perform at venues that require vaccinations or a negative Covid test Stevie Nicks cancelled all her remaining 2021 performances. On Thursday, AEG Presents, the second-largest live events company, followed suit with a stronger policy requiring proof of vaccination for ticket holders and crew at all the venues it owns or operates in the US. LiveNation, the largest operator of live events in the country, authorized its venues and artists to enact vaccine requirements at their discretion in a “best practices” memo. The New Orleans jazz and heritage festival in October was cancelled outright, with organizers citing the “current exponential growth of new Covid cases in New Orleans and the region and the ongoing public health emergency”. Bonnaroo will also require masks in indoor spaces, while Summerfest will require them for children under 12 who are ineligible for the vaccine.
