No vaccine, no problem — at least for Kanye West’s fans.
The rapper’s Chicago listening party is set to be held on Aug. 26 at Soldier Field, however, his venue won’t require music lovers to get vaccinated or have a negative COVID-19 test.
The party for the 44-year-old’s upcoming album “Donda” will admit up to 38,000 fans — slashed down from 63,000 people.
Chicago Park District spokeswoman Michele Lemons said in a statement that the reduced capacity is a show of how seriously the city takes the pandemic.
“Kanye West’s performance is one of many examples that show that Chicago can be open and safe at the same time,” Lemons said, according to the Chicago Tribune. “We have worked with Soldier Field on COVID-19 safety protocols, as we have other venues including Wrigley and Guaranteed Rate Fields, and feel this event can be safely held with the proper mitigation efforts in place.”
