Grammy Award-winning country music artist Travis Tritt announced he would not perform at any venue that enforces austere pandemic protocols, according to a statement released by the singer.
“I’m putting my money where my mouth is and announcing that any venue or promoter mandating masks, requiring vaccinations, or pushing COVID testing protocols on my fans will not be tolerated,” Tritt, 58, said.
Any show he had booked that seeks to discriminate against fans by mandating a COVID-19 test, proof of vaccination, or mask requirements would be canceled, he said.

The “It’s a Great Day to be Alive” singer canceled shows in Indiana, Mississippi, Illinois, and Kentucky, WZTV reported.
“I have been extremely vocal against mandates since the beginning,” Tritt said. “This is a sacrifice that I’m willing to make to stand up for the freedoms that generations of Americans have enjoyed for their entire lifetimes.”
Across the nation, people are standing up to the mandates infringing on their freedoms, and the two-time Grammy winner said he “wholeheartedly” supports such actions.
“There are plenty of promoters and venues around the country that appreciate fans and the freedom of choice in this great country, and those are the promoters and venues that I will be supporting,” He said.
Tritt concluded his statement by apologizing to all the fans who may miss out on his shows due to stringent restrictions.
