Musician Neil Finn is supporting a campaign to get NZ vaccinated ahead of vaccine passports becoming a requirement for mass gatherings.
Live music, concerts and festivals will be back this summer, but fans will need to get vaccinated. The government has confirmed by November, vaccine certificates will be compulsory to attend large-scale events.
In response the music industry has launched a Vax the Nation campaign.
Finn told Morning Report getting vaccinated was logical, despite misinformation about it.
"There's a great deal of certainty about Covid itself, and that the vaccine really, really helps, and there's a great deal of uncertainty about the misinformation so I think I would choose always to believe what seems most apparent and most factual.
"I was down there getting my vaccine as soon as I was eligible as my was wife was, we're now double vaxxed and we just think there's so much good, that can be in people's lives over the summer and things that they're not going to be able to do if they're not vaxxed. It just makes perfect sense."
Crowded House has recently released an album and Finn is looking forward to being able to perform it to vaccinated crowds.
"We put a new record out last year, and it's very normal experience for us to go out and perform it live, and it becomes a whole new thing when you've got an audience out there.
"We haven't got to do that around the world, so yeah we're absolutely desperate."
And he's not too concerned about pushback from people spreading misinformation online.
"Bring it on. I don't do social media, so I won't read them."
