Concert by KoRn called off due to Covid-19 issue; query regarding the impact on Syracuse performance.
Foo Fighters, KoRn, and More Implement Vaccination and Testing Policies for Upcoming Concerts
In a move towards ensuring the safety of artists, fans, and employees, Live Nation has announced that all venues and festivals under its management will require proof of full Covid-19 vaccination or a negative test taken within 48 hours prior to entry, starting from October 4. This policy includes the Foo Fighters' September 15 concert at the St. Joe's Amp in Syracuse, where attendance will be subject to the same conditions.
Meanwhile, Dead & Company and Maroon 5 have also adopted similar measures for their Upstate NY concerts. Notably, KoRn and Staind are scheduled to perform at the St. Joseph's Health Amphitheater at Lakeview on August 25. However, it's yet to be confirmed if Live Nation's vaccine and testing policy will apply to the St. Joe's Amp, which is owned by Onondaga County.
Recent updates related to KoRn mention a band member taking a hiatus in 2025 for personal reasons, but no Covid-19 related disruptions or cancellations from 2021 tours are reported. Contrary to some reports, there is no evidence that KoRn's Syracuse show or any other dates in 2021 have been canceled or postponed due to Covid-19 cases within the band.
However, KoRn has canceled concerts at the St. Joe's Amp in Syracuse and the Darien Lake Amphitheater due to lead singer Jonathan Davis testing positive for Covid-19. The band encourages fans to hang on to their tickets, with refunds being offered for the canceled concerts and rescheduled dates yet to be announced.
Masks are required indoors at the St. Joe's Amp, mostly applying to the open-air venue's bathrooms. Tickets for the Syracuse concert can be purchased through Live Nation, StubHub, Seat Geek, TicketCity, and Vivid Seats.
As the music industry continues to navigate the challenges posed by the pandemic, it's clear that safety measures are a priority for many artists and event organisers. Fans are advised to stay updated with the latest guidelines and requirements for each concert they plan to attend.
The St. Joseph's Health Amphitheater at Lakeview, where KoRn and Staind are scheduled to perform, could potentially implement Live Nation's vaccine and testing policy, ensuring the health-and-wellness of all attendees. In the realm of entertainment, science and safety measures are merging, with the music industry focusing on health-and-wellness precautions to preserve the enjoyment of music events like those by Foo Fighters and KoRn.
