Rock band cancels Iowa vaccine passport ban gig

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – A rock band has canceled an Iowa concert due to the state’s supposed ban on vaccine passports.

The Des Moines Register reports that the group Spoon has canceled their September 9 concert. The group posted on Instagram that they wanted Hoyt Sherman Place in Des Moines to require spectators to show proof of vaccination or a recent negative COVID-19 test. But a new Iowa law prohibits companies from requiring proof of vaccination.

Instead, Spoon will put on a show at Omaha, Nebraska’s slowdown music hall.
