Tampa’s MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre Begins New Safety Protocol

October 5th, 2021 3:37 PM

The new policy in effect at the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre was set in place to help stop the spread of Covid-19.

Beginning this week, concert-goers to the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre will have to either show a negative PCR or Antigen test, or proof of vaccination to enter the venue. This change follows in the footsteps of the Gasparilla Music Festival instituting a similar protocol.

Fully-vaccinated guests (at least two weeks after the final dose) will need to present their original vaccination card upon entry. Non-vaccinated guests must show a negative PCR or Antigen test taken with 72 hours of the event.

This policy is in effect for all upcoming concerts. KISS, Alice Cooper, and The Doobie Brothers will be performing at the amphitheater in the coming days and weeks.

  If you missed them in Tampa, you have one more chance to see the Rolling Stones when the Hackney Diamonds '24 tour comes to Camping World Stadium in Orlando. And if you miss this show, you'll have to catch them on one of their future tours over the next few decades... because even though the show is sponsored by AARP, the Stones show no signs of slowing down.
