Fans attending Kanye West’s Chicago listening party on Thursday can leave the event with more than just an earful of his upcoming album “Donda.”
The venue will be offering COVID-19 vaccinations at the event.
“Soldier Field and the Chicago Department of Public Health are pleased to be working together to offer 1,500-plus vaccinations for those not yet vaccinated (Pfizer or Johnson & Johnson) and assist with setting up their second dose at a later date. This will be available at Gate 8 on the SE corner of the stadium,” a representative for Chicago’s Soldier Field told Rolling Stone.

This is West’s third listening party for the album, and 38,000 people — about 60 percent of the venue’s capacity — will be allowed to attend. At his second listening party at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, the venue offered Pfizer vaccinations from doors opening until West’s set time.
In a July 2020 interview with Forbes, West referred to the coronavirus vaccination as “the mark of the beast.”
