Masks required for Harry Styles’ US tour alongside vaccinations and COVID tests

Harry Styles

Organisers of Harry Styles‘ upcoming US tour have today (August 25) announced COVID safety protocols for fans attending the shows.

Styles’ ‘Love On Tour’, which was postponed from last year until this autumn due to the ongoing pandemic, will require attendees to wear masks at all venues. It will also be mandatory for ticketholders to either show proof of full coronavirus vaccination or a negative PCR test taken within 48 hours of entering one of the concerts.

The pop star’s shows at NYC’s Madison Square Garden and at California’s SAP Center in San Jose, however, will only accept full vaccination. No one will be permitted to enter the venues with a negative PCR test only.

A statement accompanying the announcement read: “Requiring testing, or proof of vaccination, is the best way to protect the health and safety of our crew and fans, and is quickly becoming the new standard for concerts around the US. There will be no exceptions to these policies.”

It added that venue staff at each show will need to follow the same protocols as attendees.
