Macklemore is turning his removal from Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour into a new run of his own, announcing a three-city “Free Palestine Tour” in Europe with additional artists and U.S. dates still to come.

The rapper announced the benefit tour Thursday, with concerts scheduled for Oct. 26 at 3Arena in Dublin, Oct. 29 at Accor Arena in Paris and Oct. 30 at OVO Arena Wembley in London. Ticketmaster is billing the shows as “Macklemore & Friends,” though participating artists have not yet been announced.

Macklemore said all proceeds from the concerts will benefit organizations “supporting the Palestinian people and movement.”

    Nope, not holding my tongue about those who are harming the Palestinian cause. You can stay silent if you want.

      You disingenuous fuck. Netanyahu funded Hamas. Action was purposefully delayed on October 7 and then Israel brought in Apache helicopters to shoot everyone. There were plenty of other political alternatives in the past, but they all got squashed because Israel never wanted to make peace with the people whose land they stole. Hamas is a strategic means to an end - that being a long term strategy for the annihilation of the Palestinian people.

        There’s nothing disingenuous about calling out those who are oppressing the Palestinian people.

      This is like saying the Red Army hurt the Soviet cause during WW2. Yes, there are things to criticize, but both forces are literally the only thing stopping complete annihilation at the hands of fascists.
