Madball Say They Won’t Play In New York City While Vaccines are Required

Madball has made the decision that after their August 14th show at Irving Plaza in New York City they won’t be playing in that area for some time. This is due to the Key To NYC Pass that requires proof of vaccination to go to restaurants, the gym and performances, which they think is an invasion of medical privacy. The policy won’t actually start until August 16th and has a grace period of until September 13th, when it will be mandatory to show proof of vaccination.

This is not their first stand against something they think infringes upon people’s privacy. Back in April as part of a huge hardcore show, 2,000-3,000 people came to Tompkins Square in NYC without masks. This violated many COVID-19 guidelines, especially the one where only 500 were supposed to be there.

While being a senior undergraduate, working with this organization lines up perfectly with what I want to do in the future. Learning has been a huge point in my life and I intend to finish what I start. Aside from all the serious stuff my favorite kinds of music are pop, j-pop, and rap. Also I'm more of a fiction reader I like how I can get lost in other people's creative works. In addition, to that is the games I play are more role-playing, open-world, and solo. The movies I tend to watch vary from what seems interesting to how I'm feeling that day.
