Dave Matthews Band concert in Bend adds COVID-19 restrictions

Published 4:45 pm Saturday, August 14, 2021

All ticket holders for the Dave Matthews Band concert Sept. 8 at Bend’s Les Schwab Amphitheater will be required to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative test within 72 hours of the show, according to the amphitheater.

Children under 12, who are not eligible for a vaccine, may attend the concert if they provide a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours.

Ticket holders who no longer want to attend the concert can get a refund through the amphitheater, and can find information at bendconcerts.com.

The new requirements came from the Dave Matthews Band, which added the COVID-19 protocols Friday for all of its shows this summer.

The Les Schwab Amphitheater is still not requiring face masks, social distancing or proof of a COVID-19 vaccine at its other concerts, unless the artists decide to change those requirements.

The amphitheater is hosting a record 26 concerts this summer over 10 weeks in August and September.
