What are the COVID rules for Tyler, The Creator concert in Sacramento this weekend?
California dropped its vaccination or test proof requirement Friday for large indoor event goers, a day before rapper Tyler, the Creator preforms at the Golden 1 Center in downtown Sacramento.
With an arena capacity of about 17,600 for NBA games, the Golden 1 Center last updated its COVID-19 vaccination policy on April 1 and shifted from required to strongly recommended that patrons are fully vaccinated or have a negative test before entering the building.
Tyler, the Creator’s “Call Me If You Get Lost” tour on Saturday does not list any stricter requirements, as shows are permitted to do.
Health guidelines listed on the event page follow California’s newest COVID-19 rule shift. It’s strongly recommended that guests are fully vaccinated or have a negative COVID-19 test before entering the arena. It’s also recommended, but not required, that fans wear masks.

The nearly sold-out show is part of Tyler, the Creator’s spring 2022 North American tour with musical artists Kali Uchis, Vince Staples and Teezo Touchdown, according to Golden 1 Center’s website.
The “Call Me If You Get Lost” tour, named after his latest 2021 album, follows Tyler, the Creator’s 2019 Grammy-award winning album “IGOR.”
Doors will open 6 p.m. and the show will kick off at 7 p.m., according to the Golden 1 Center’s event calendar.
Last-minute tickets can be purchased on Ticketmaster or resale.
Statewide vaccine-or-test COVID-19 rule shift
The statewide vaccination rule shift strongly recommends that patrons are fully vaccinated or have a negative test before entering an indoor “mega” event. An indoor mega event, according to the California Department of Public Health, has a crowd greater than 1,000 people.
While the Golden 1 Center is changing its COVID rules following the state, the new rules have yet to take effect at another Sacramento venue: Ace of Spades. A phone message from the concert spot says both proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test and masks are required.
The state’s latest COVID-19 protocol shift, which drops the requirement of proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative test at large indoor events spaces, comes as state COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations continue to fall. According to the state’s official COVID-19 dashboard, last updated Friday, California has a daily average of more than 2,000 cases, 47 deaths and a 1.6% test positivity rate.
