Earlier this year when things appeared slightly hopeful i began cautiously booking tours so artists could get back to work and start paying bills again and I knew there was a possibility things could go south but didn’t anticipate what would occur.
The first tour i booked was for Homeboy Sandman and Nolan in the southeast and southwest and despite my hardest efforts to keep it stable and safe, my intentions were thwarted by the headlining artist after they self sabotaged themselves and the tour by sending out email blasts with wild misinformation regarding COVID and advising fans to ignore safety protocols at venues along with refusing to take COVID tests or wear a mask indoors.
I let people have their views and opinions and never say much about it but when you’re infringing on others peoples right to be safe and healthy at a concert and you’re outright telling folks to discard venue policy, I cant let that go down.
