ZZ Top was to have been one of the performers at the 2020 edition of the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, but cancelled due to COVID-19, along with other scheduled acts including Willie Nelson, Lynyrd Skynyrd and more.
The rally itself, however, wasn’t cancelled, and is currently underway, with an estimated 250,000 bikers congregating in the small South Dakota town for the 10-day event.
Anyone thinking this seems like an extremely bad idea in the midst of a global pandemic is not alone, with experts concerned this could become a super-spreader event like no other, while news outlets such as the Chicago Tribune are reporting that social distancing is non-existent and faces masks are few and far between.
