Guitar-shredding conspiracy theorist Ted Nugent returns to Clearwater this summer

If you’re going just for the music, please wear a mask—or two.

Everybody’s favorite gun-touting, COVID-denying, Trump-loving guitar icon Ted Nugent, is set to perform at Clearwater’s Ruth Eckerd Hall this summer.

Tickets to see Ted Nugent at Ruth Eckerd Hall on July 15 are on sale now and start at $33.25.
There appears to be a trend in Tampa Bay surrounding musicians who have notably fought against COVID-19 protocols and vaccinations, starting with Eric Clapton’s performance at Amalie Arena last fall.

With Van Morrison and Aaron Lewis also on the way this year, let this be an unfriendly reminder that in a COVID-infested Florida, there’s always room for one more anti-vax asshole. Especially the ultra-patriotic ones who shat their pants to avoid the Vietnam draft, just to later call the survivors of a school shooting “soulless.”
