Can I camp out overnight or tailgate in the park before the concert?
Camping and/or tailgating at Jacobs Park or Embarcadero Marina Park South is not permitted at any time. Additionally, the Park is closed between 10:30pm and 6am. Any campers or attempts to camp will be removed. While Jacobs Park will be open the morning of May 18, there will be a full sweep of the venue prior to closing at 2pm. There can be no reserving of seats of any kind, and no items of any kind may be left in the park.
Do I still need to show proof of vaccination?
Yes. As outlined at the time of purchase, all guests 12 and up must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (at least two weeks after final dose) and provide proof of immunization with corresponding photo ID at the Vaccination Checkpoint. Unvaccinated guests under 12 years are required to take a COVID-19 diagnostic test (within 48 hours) and provide proof of negative result via time-stamped photo prior to entering the venue. If you’re not feeling well, please stay home and get well.
Guests will not be permitted to enter the venue until vaccination status has been verified and the guest is given a wristband.

Do I need to wear a mask during the show?
Masks are only required for those unvaccinated under 12 years old. While masks are not required for all, masks are still encouraged for large gatherings such as this one. Our venue staff will have masks ready to hand out as needed, and hand sanitizer will be available throughout the venue.
Where and when do I get in line to enter?
All guests upon arrival should FIRST proceed to the Vaccination Checkpoint in Fifth Avenue Landing Lot B. The line will start along the Embarcadero, near the Coronado Ferry entrance. You'll need to complete this check prior to getting in line at the ticket gates. Vaccination check stations will open several hours before ticket gates open. We will begin checking proof of vaccination at 3:00pm. Try to arrive early so you can get this done first!
What can I NOT bring into the concert?
Bags and backpacks are not allowed to come in, except for single compartment bags measuring 7” × 10” or smaller. Your bag may be subject to search when you enter. Medical bags, small purses, clutches and fanny packs are allowed as long as they are smaller than 7 inches by 10 inches in size. No umbrellas or folding chairs will be allowed to come in.
No outside food and drink will be allowed inside the venue except for factory-sealed plastic water bottles. Guests may bring one empty reusable, plastic water bottle to fill at one of our water refill stations inside the venue.
The following items are not permitted, no exceptions: glass containers of any type, selfie sticks, iPads and other tablets, fireworks, banners with poles, political banners or signs, professional cameras, video or audio recording equipment, laser pointers. Discovery with any of these items may result in expulsion from the concert venue. For a full list of prohibited items, visit The Rady Shell Security Page.
