2021 US Summer Tour (was: 2021 North America Stadium Tour)

Naw the vaccine cards are a joke and you fill them out yourself. If I was underage and tried to buy beer with something a cheap looking they’d call the police. You can make these things in any computer.  And yes, I did get the shots.

And if you get caught doing it....it's a 5k fine for forging a federal seal (the CDC logo).

I know, I know...but I'm just saying.

I’m not encouraging it.

I know, but I figure if we're going to talk about it....we should lay out the potential consequences, too!

To anyone else from the board planning on going to the Dallas show. The venue is now requiring masks at all times regardless of your vaccination status, unless you are at your seat actively eating or drinking. So bring a mask!

No offense to anyone going to this show, but given the rampant spread in Texas, I question how prudent it is to have this show, even with masks and vaccine mandates. I lived in Texas for 5 years, and I have many friends there. It brings me no pleasure to say that. I just would hate it if a GN'R show made a bad situation worse.

I get your point but it obviously isn't going to be cancelled. So at least they're trying to make it as safe as possible. Texas is doing better then most southern states as far as vaccines though, especially lately. We will be close to 50% if not over by the end of the month. We're currently 45.2% fully vaccinated and over 54% with one shot. Florida is the real disaster area. 25k new cases yesterday. They account for 18% of all new cases. That is staggering.

I don't realistically expect cancelation. I just would hate to see my favorite band associated with any sort of spreading event. Respectfully, while Texas is better than some Southern states, that is not great overall. My county has 80% of everyone 12 and older vaccinated. I hope that you and all my friends in Texas stay safe. I just hope that the hospitals there can endure the surge.

I gotcha. Although I think unless you’re trying to get on an airplane or into a federal building no one is gonna prosecute. They really should have been entering these into a system that you can download later because some places want the actual card and if you lose it then you’re screwed.

We just need to up the vaccination rate. Is our way out of this. It's been increasing quite a bit lately but not as fast as I'd like. At least it's going up faster then it was. On a side note our governor got covid today.

Holy shit, it's 5 grand???

Well, guess you have to really bring down the hammer.

Garth Brooks is canceling his stadium tour...could Guns be next?

[GingerGringo92]

After tomorrow the next show on a Thursday night where they could announce a midnight Friday release is September 16th in Chicago... the day before the uyi 30th anniversary.  If it isn't tomorrow night that they play hardschool then it is the 16th of september with a new album dropping that night

Yes. It is possible.

At the moment i would still be surprised if they do.

I would be surprised too if all dates were canceled. But, if a major act like Garth Brooks does it, it is possible that some dates could be.

the vaccine rate is high enough. People can either trust or not trust in things, it is on them. Let's do this!!!!! Gnr tour 2021! I patiently await Columbus in September!

I wish that were true in all states. In the south it is sill pretty low in a number of states/

Side note, the flu rate went way down when we were all home last year.  Don't forget that vaccine if you're running around in a crowd without a mask.  Keep your cooties to yourself.

You couldn't pay me to go maskless in a crowd right now.

I got my two vaccination shots at my local Safeway, a couple of weeks ago they sent me a QR code, that I can add to my Apple Wallet showing proof of Vaccination.  I thought that was a good idea... You don't have to take that card around everywhere you go.  Hopefully the tour continues, I know NIN just cancelled their dates for the rest of the year.

I have the same QR code. It is easy to implement.

I hope that I get to see them. But, as you said, NIN has also canceled their dates. The more and more this happens, the more pressure there will be on GN'R to do the same. There's a PR issue at play.

Well technically they canceled two shows in Ohio and a handful of appearances at some festivals, which - as of now - are still happening.

You are correct. There is a PR issue at play but it works for both sides. Some want the shows canceled and others do not.
