TUCSON (KVOA) – It was a packed house Thursday night when the Fox Theater kicked off their first official concert with the Mavericks, after being closed for months during the pandemic.
“It’s been 529 days since there was a show in this venue,†said Bonnie Schock of the Fox Theater. “So excited to have this particular group coming.”
Hardcore fans who have seen the Mavericks on multiple occasions have said that having to wear a mask isn’t going to stop them from having fun.
“I don’t really mind wearing a mask, what is difficult for me is seeing everyone wearing a mask. I find it really sad but I understand I absolutely hope there will be a moment. where we don’t have to do that, â€said Hillary Yasmer Shemin.
“For us being behind masks is pretty depressing, but we have to do what we have to do. Hopefully this will all be over soon and things will improve,” said Jeane Devries.
Bassist and Tucsonan local Ed Friedland is also hoping things will get back to normal for the sake of his fans.
“The way to get things done is to get the shot. I would like us to end the year. We have planned a great year,†Friedland said.
Fox Theatre’s new COVID-19 policy will take effect at Chris Isaak’s concert on September 25. Guests will be required to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test.
