Live Nation Canada says it'll soon require ticket holders to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test before they're granted entry to its concerts. Live Nation Canada declined to answer further questions about the plan or when the new measures would take effect. Live Nation moved to replicate that model across the United States by saying last week that it would require shots or proof of negative tests for all events starting Oct. 4, as long as it was permitted by local laws. "Live Nation pioneered a great strategy with Lollapalooza -- which saw over 90 per cent of attendees show up vaccinated," a statement from Live Nation Canada said. For example, the Saskatchewan Jazz Festival held 50 indoor and outdoor shows at full capacity with no mandates.
