Speaking of COVID-19, a vaccination site will be held at Brooks’ Aug. 7 show at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., the home of the Kansas City Chiefs.
“We’re going to continue to take every single opportunity we can to create vaccination opportunities,” Chiefs team president Mark Donovan said during a press conference July 26, according to the Kanas City Star.
Last week, White House coronavirus response coordinator Jeff Zients told reporters at a White House news conference July 22 that Florida, Texas and Missouri “three states with lower vaccination rates, accounted for 40 percent of all cases nationwide,” according to CNN.
Brooks is due on stage next on July 31 at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium, marking his first-ever concert at the venue.
The iconic singer/songwriter sent in a video to accept his win at the Pollstar Awards, thanking his crew and band for all their hard work over the decade.
His 2019 tour grossed $76.1 million, ranking as the top country tour of the year and overall at No. 9 on Pollstar’s Year-End Top 200 North American Tours chart.
