The whole week is going to be like nothing you\u2019ve ever seen before in New York City.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The show will be produced by Clive Davis, who said in an interview, \u201cI can\u2019t think of a better place than the Great Lawn of Central Park to be the place where you say that New York is reopening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cIt\u2019s an absolutely stunning place for the concert,\u201d de Blasio said. \u201cIt makes you feel a deep connection to New York City.\u201d The mayor noted that he wants to portray that New York City is prepared for September when many employees are reportedly expected to come back to Manhattan offices.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As The Times reported, \u201cThe show, tentatively set for Aug. 21, is still coming together, with no artists confirmed, though Mr. Davis \u2014 whose five-decade career highlights have included working with Janis Joplin, Bruce Springsteen, Aretha Franklin, Alicia Keys and Whitney Houston \u2014 said he is aiming for eight \u2018iconic\u2019 stars to perform a three-hour show for 60,000 attendees and a worldwide television audience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">According to The Times, de Blasio\u2019s office said there would be sections for vaccinated and unvaccinated people at the event, and that around 70% of tickets would go to people who have been vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">New York has pushed its residents to get vaccinated with various efforts, including the introduction of a \u201cvaccine passport\u201d program called the Excelsior Pass.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/another-u-s-state-bans-vaccine-passports\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a> last month, Democratic New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the new program in March that allows New Yorkers to present a COVID-19 \u201cpassport\u201d to get into sports arenas, theaters, or other places of business.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">New York website\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov\/excelsior-pass\"><span class=\"s1\">page<\/span><\/a> about the pass states, \u201cExcelsior Pass supports a safe reopening of New York by providing a free, fast and secure way to present digital proof of COVID-19 vaccination or negative test results. Think of it as a mobile airline boarding pass, but for proving you received a COVID-19 vaccination or negative test.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Venues and businesses are able to scan the passes in order to make sure that a person meets the \u201cvaccination or testing requirements for entry.\u201d The person will also be asked to provide a photo ID to prove that the Pass is theirs. The website added, \u201cParticipation in Excelsior Pass is voluntary. New Yorkers can always show alternate proof of vaccination or testing, like another mobile application or paper form, directly at a business or venue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Approximately 1.1 million Excelsior Passes had been downloaded onto phones and computers as of late May, according to the state as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/06\/01\/nyregion\/excelsior-pass-vaccine.html\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a> by The New York Times.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>At the time, however, 9.1 million New Yorkers had reportedly been fully vaccinated, calling into question why the \u201cpassport\u201d program was not initially more popular. Over 9.3 million people have now been fully <a href=\"https:\/\/covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov\/covid-19-vaccine-tracker\">vaccinated<\/a> in New York.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
