(Update, 11:30am): The “Herd Immunity Fest” is no longer going by that name and Nonpoint will no longer be part of it. Here’s the latest from event host Q&Z Expo Center:

Concert organizers in Ringle, Wisconsin (NW of Green Bay, about 4.25 hours from Chicago) are putting together a three-day rock festival that flies in the face of what health experts have been recommending during the pandemic.
According to the CDC, “herd,” or “community,” immunity is “a situation in which a sufficient proportion of a population is immune to an infectious disease (through vaccination and/or prior illness) to make its spread from person to person unlikely. Even individuals not vaccinated (such as newborns and those with chronic illnesses) are offered some protection because the disease has little opportunity to spread within the community.”
The line-up is focused on heavier bands, including Static-X, Nonpoint and Dope. (Update) The initial social post from organizers has been deleted.
