The Foo Fighters are asking concertgoers to show proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 or a negative test result within 48 hours of attending their Alaska concert, according to an announcement from Ticketmaster.
The Grammy Award-winning band has three stops in Alaska for their tour – two in Anchorage on August 17 and 19 at the Dena’ina Center and one in Fairbanks on August 21 at the Carlson Center.
The statement said proof of “a negative COVID-19 test within 48-hours of the event” or full vaccination against COVID-19 (14 days past final vaccination shot) is required prior to entering the venue. Children under 12 years of age or fans with valid medical reasons preventing vaccination will be required to show proof of a negative test as well.
The statement also said mask wearing is encouraged but not required.
