Regardless of vaccination status, all guests, staff and vendors will be required to wear a mask while visiting any of the indoor areas of the stadium.
Fans are to bring their own masks. They will not be required to show proof of vaccination to enter. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, unvaccinated fans should wear a mask at all times.
This isn’t the first time vaccines before a Rolling Stones concert have been offered.
According to NPR, vaccinations were offered prior to the Stones concert Sept. 26 in St. Louis and planned for other cities on the No Filter tour.
The Stones’s Pittsburgh concert starts at 7:30 p.m. The band was in Charlotte, N.C. on Thursday.
On the Heinz Field website, there are messages from band members Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
“I’m so excited to get back on the stage again and want to thank everyone for their patience. See you soon!” said Jagger.
“We’re back on the road! See you there!” said Richards.
There are tickets available, some in the $49 range (before booking fees).
