This is a gesture that should delight those not vaccinated against Covid-19.
The Marseillais of the IAM group have made a strong decision: they offer their fans, who need to go through the antigenic test box before going to one of their concerts, to bear the costs.
The authors of
Je Danse le Mia
will perform 18 evenings on stage starting October 19.
However, from October 15, all tests for covid will be chargeable (44 euros for PCRs, 22 for antigens).
For the group, which wants to do everything to ensure that its concerts remain accessible to the greatest number, out of the question to remain without acting.
"We will take charge of the antigenic tests at the entrance to concerts, for anyone who does not have the health pass, for any reason whatsoever," the group said on Instagram.
And to clarify: "We are not antivax, we are just for individual freedom, the choice.
Long live freedom ".
Confronted with disease
In July, IAM had already spoken out against compulsory vaccination and very firmly opposed the health pass, through a statement by Akhenaton.
“Our freedoms and especially the future of our children are at stake.
Unfortunately, these laws are dangerous for everyone.
It is together that we will find solutions.
Long live life, long live love, long live humanity, ”the rapper was justified at the time.
A few days later, the artist contracted the virus and was hospitalized in Marseille.
If he had denied having gone through intensive care, he had in any case stayed several days at the Timone to get back on his feet.
