Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit
Music venues generally don't require guests to provide proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test for admission — Billy Bob's Texas doesn't, nor does it require masks inside — but when Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit visit the World's Largest Honky-Tonk on Friday, fans will need to abide by special protocols if they want to see the show.
Per Billy Bob's, Isbell's management reached out to the venue requesting that guests provide both items in order to keep everyone safe — because "if you're dead, you don't have any freedoms at all," Isbell said.
Hence, those attending the concert, which also features special guest Lucinda Williams, must meet the following requirements:
- Must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (at least two weeks after final dose, no later than July 30, 2021) and provide proof of vaccination (i.e., original vaccination card, copy of vaccination card, or picture of vaccination card)
- If not fully vaccinated, must take a COVID-19 diagnostic test (PCR or antigen) within 72 hours of each event and before entry to the facility and will provide proof of negative result to security prior to entry into the facility
- Must not attend the event and will request a refund if you have recently been exposed to a confirmed COVID-19 case or are exhibiting symptoms consistent with COVID-19 in the 24-hour period prior to the event
- Must wear masks
Billy Bob's advises guests to arrive early as checking documentation will be a lengthy process. Guests under 12 are not required to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test, though they will be required to wear masks.
Ticket holders who do not wish to abide by the requirements can request a refund through the point of purchase before event time.
Billy Bob's will return to normal protocols Saturday for the Casey Donahew concert. Information for all shows is available at billybobstexas.com.
