BUKU: Planet B Festival Cancelled Due to Uncertainty of COVID-19
Earlier this summer BUKU Music + Art Project announced a diverse lineup for their one-of-a-kind boutique event, dubbed Planet B. The festival has now sadly been canceled due to the impact of COVID-19. In a statement released via social media, BUKU: Planet B organizers addressed the inability to safely proceed with the fest given the current and projected conditions of COVID-19 in Louisiana. “As you’ve probably seen, Louisiana is getting rocked by COVID again and it’s causing large events in the state to cancel,” the statement reads. “We’ve spent the last couple weeks trying to hang on, but don’t see a guaranteed path forward under the current & projected public health conditions.” BUKU Music + Art Project Recommended Articl...

Corey Taylor Contracts COVID-19: “I Woke Up Today and Tested Positive, and I’m Very, Very Sick”
On the heels of his latest solo tour, Corey Taylor has tested positive for COVID-19. The Slipknot singer is vaccinated, but revealed that he still felt “very, very sick.” Taylor made the announcement in order to let everyone know he would no longer be attending the Astronomicon pop-culture convention this weekend in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In a video message posted on the Astronomicon Facebook page, a raspy and congested Taylor spoke from his bed, stating the following: “I wish I had better news. I woke up today and tested positive, and I’m very, very sick. So I’m not gonna be able to make it this weekend. And I am absolutely devastated. I am so sorry.

Travis Tritt Quotes MLK in Explaining Why Vaccine Mandates are Discriminatory
With each passing day, more and more artists and promoters are asking for proof of vaccination as a requirement to attend in-person events. In response to this growing trend, the multi-platinum country musician Travis Tritt felt compelled “to make a statement” against such mandates, likening them to a form of discrimination. “In light of recently announced policies and mandates from some entertainment companies, promoters and local municipalities which would discriminate against specific concert attendees who are not vaccinated, I feel compelled to make a statement,” Tritt said. “I have always been a huge defender of basic human rights and liberty for all. No government, employer or private entity should ever be allowed to infringe on those rights and liberties. I’m also very much against ...
Party Done… For Now: West Indian Day Parade Canceled For A Second Straight Year
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Pacific Press / Getty The West Indian massive won’t be hitting the road this year in Brooklyn either. As spotted on The Gothamist, the iconic West Indian Day Parade that blesses Crown Heights Brooklyn and is the official swan song to summer in the borough will not be happening for a second straight year.

Those interested in partaking can look forward to a Steel Pan Jamboree and the “Jus’ Like Mas” party where organizers encourage participants to wear their beautiful costumes that usually could be seen on men, women, and children who participate in the annual celebration of West Indian cu...
2021 Emmy Awards Attendees Need Both Proof of COVID-19 Vaccination and Negative Test
The day after Los Angeles topped 4,000 new COVID-19 cases for the first time since January, the Television Academy announced that everyone attending the 2021 Emmy Awards must provide proof of full vaccination in addition to a negative COVID test. The requirement is stricter than most other live events in the pandemic era, as many venues have mandated one or the other but not both. The Primetime Emmy Awards take place Sunday, September 19th at 8:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. PT. The audience has been limited to just nominees and a guest, and they will be required to take a COVID test on or after Friday, September 17th. If you’ve been following venue testing closely, you’re probably used to thinking of testing windows as either 72 hours or 48 hours. The maximum testing window for the Emmys would be 6...
I.M.P. Updates COVID-19 Policies for 9:30 Club, Merriweather Post Pavilion, Lincoln Theatre, The Anthem
I.M.P., the independent concert promoter that operates four beloved venues in Washington DC and Maryland, has announced strict new policies designed to combat the spread of COVID-19. Beginning October 17th, anyone attending a performance at The Anthem, 9:30 Club, Merriweather Post Pavilion, or Lincoln Theatre will need to provide proof of full vaccination status to enter. Currently, I.M.P. venues require either confirmation of vaccination status or a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours.

Instead, these ticketholders must provide a negative PCR test administered within 48 hours of entry. Ad...
ADE 2021 Hangs In the Balance After Dutch Government’s “Disastrous” COVID-19 Nightlife Restrictions
The 2021 edition of Amsterdam Dance Event, the world’s premier electronic music summit, is in jeopardy after the Dutch government’s latest clamp on nightlife. Amid a surge of COVID-19 cases in the Netherlands, Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Health Minister Hugo de Jonge organized a press conference last week to announce that Dutch nightclubs must remain shuttered until November 1st. “I realize that this is again a hard message and that more was hoped for,” Rutte said. “The work in these sectors can continue, but with one hand tied behind their back for the time being.” ADE is scheduled for October 13-17, painting a grim picture for what was supposed to be the event’s triumphant return after going virtual in 2020. Organizers recently c...

Neil Young Withdraws from Farm Aid 2021, Citing “The Covid Pandemic Surging”
Less than a month after Farm Aid 2021 was announced, one of the founders of the fundraiser, Neil Young, has withdrawn from the concert over concerns about COVID-19. In a statement on the Neil Young Archives, the venerable songwriter wrote, “My soul tells me it would be wrong.” Young is a Farm Aid board member alongside Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, and Dave Matthews, all of whom are expected to perform. “While I respect Willie, John and Dave’s decisions to stick with it and play, I am not of the same mind,” Young wrote. “It is a tough call.” As he explained his thinking, “I find myself wondering whether Farmaid will be safe for everyone with the Covid pandemic surging. I worry about that. I don’t want to let anybody down, but still can’t shake the feeling that it might not be safe for ev...
