Outside of festivals, it’s likely up to the individual artists.
Only way Tour doesn’t go forward imo is if Stones decide not to due to potential PR backlash.

I think that they booked dates and got insurance IF local governments require a cancel. They won’t or can’t cancel for any other reason. Jazzfest never made sense to me as an add on except that they had nothing to lose if it never happened at all.
I think it’s possible some other cities get scrapped but not likely. There are plenty of red states on the list.

Wondering if The Rolling Stones will add another show for 10-13, now that the Jazzfest gig is off?

Maybe we've come so accustomed to view the Stones as these shrewd business guys that we can't really imagine them right now going "OMG what are we even getting ourselves into here"

Daspyknows, you're 100% right! It IS the folks from the states where vaccination rates are WAY DOWN that we need to worry about. ( or NOT...I'm just NOT going!) You can be sure there will be fans at these shows----IF the tour happens---who are not vaccinated and may go in with a mask but take it OFF during the show...sitting next to some poor guy who followed protocol, got vacinated , wears a mask and still is infected by the idiot/carrier of Covid. I'm anxious to see the rate of transmission from Loolapalooza. With the Jazz Festival cancelled, maybe the band will get the message.

You have these guys figured out.

Why does anybody believe that 2022 is going to be any better? There will be another variant. There will be more deaths. There will still be plenty of people who won't get the vaccine. We have to either figure out how to live with this virus and let life continue, or we accept a life of restrictions, lockdowns and cancellations as the new normal.

I am vaccinated and wear a mask. I do think these shows are going to happen. Every day I feel more strongly about it.

I guess the main question is who's gonna cancel the tour – the promoter, public health officials, the band, the local authorities… And after all it's a question whose insurance has to pay

I feel the opposite of kv2915, and while I am vaccinated and willing to wear a mask, I think that some, most, or even all of the shows are in jeopardy of being canceled - the pandemic is still out of control.
And depending on how things are going by Oct. 17 for the L.A. show, if the promoter, public health officials, the band, or the local authorities haven't canceled, I may just cancel out myself.
My choice will be more about the absence of Charlie though - that news has been hard to digest and has put a damper on things no matter how I look at it - there's really no bright side imo.
Keith, Mick, and Ronnie can continue on without Charlie for shrewd business reasons if they must, but it's sort of sucked the wind out of the situation.

I think we've actually figured it out...well the scientists have. Get vaccinated. What we haven't figured out is how to deprogram all the goobers that won't get vaccinated.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him get vaccinated while taking a drink.
No they won't as they are to money whipped . Someone with some sense should make an rational appeal that it is just not safe for the exact reason(s) you mentioned . Fly's in the face of conventional wisdom . Can anyone say MEGA SPREADER ? Or should that be the name of this ?Quote
