Rainhard Fendrich will rock the Wiener Stadthalle with a concert on November 7th. The fact that the organizer’s announcement was “probably” about the 2G rule caused a stir on Friday among fans who were critical of vaccinations. There was talk of “government artist” and “fascist” in social networks. “Far be it from me to exclude people from my concerts because of a vaccination status,” Fendrich now emphasizes in a statement.
“Everyone should be free to decide for themselves whether they want to be vaccinated or not,” Fendrich said in the statement submitted to the APA. All you have to do is to use www.semmel.de/rainhardfendrich-infoportal to provide upcoming concert visitors with the best possible information about the current status of the regulations.
“Is not in my power”
And at the moment – according to the current status at least until the end of October – the 2G regulation applies in Vienna, according to which only those who have been vaccinated or genesis are allowed at events over 500 people.
“It is not in my power to change anything in these regulations or even to specify them,” said Fendrich. “I would like to be able to give everyone a carefree yet safe concert experience, but this is neither my nor the decision of my concert organizer. In this case, this is the sole responsibility of the health authority of the City of Vienna ”, it concludes.
