CLEVELAND, Ohio (WJW) — Just days after announcing his new tour, Kid Rock says he won’t be performing at venues that require COVID-19 vaccinations or masks.
The singer’s 2022 Bad Reputation Tour will take place in 24 cities, including a stop at the Blossom Music Center on August 5.
“There has been a lot of discussion about vaccination mandates and locations. The people say, “I’m not going to this place because of the vaccine mandate” and this, that and the other. Believe me, we’ve done all of our research on this and the consensus says it’s all going to be done – if there’s any on these sites. I don’t know of any, but if there are, they will be gone by the time we get to your town. If not, trust me, you don’t have to worry. You’ll get your money back cause I won’t show up either,” Kid Rock said in a video on his Facebook page.
He said they scratched Buffalo, New York and Toronto, Canada, from the list because he didn’t want to deal with mask or vaccine mandates.
