The Live Nation venues include Blossom Music Center, House of Blues and Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica, as well as many other venues where the company produces concerts. AEG produces shows at many area venues which have included The Agora and Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse.
The new policy will go into full effect no later than Tuesday, September 7. Attendees will be required to show proof of vaccination or proof of a negative test within 48 hours of entry at venues throughout Northeast Ohio. These restrictions will remain in place indefinitely and are subject to change with current public health conditions and as guidance is reevaluated.
