Smash Mouth’s concert in Sturgis, South Dakota was not a smash hit. The rock band faced backlash after performing for thousands of bikers at the jam-packed Sturgis Motorcycle Rally Sunday as coronavirus cases continue to surge in the U. S. « We’re all here together tonight, » frontman Steve Harwell said while headlining the Buffalo Chip concert series. « (Screw) that COVID (expletive). » Social media footage from South Dakota news station KOTATV showed the largely mask-less crowd cheering on Harwell’s anti-coronavirus remark as they gathered around the stage ignoring the CDC’s social distancing guidelines. USA TODAY reached out to Smash Mouth for comment. More than 250,000 people are expected to attend the 10-day Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, making it one of the largest events to take place since the pandemic upended the entertainment industry in March.
