Days after his removal from Ed Sheeran’s tour, Macklemore has announced a new Free Palestine tour across Europe. The rapper will perform in London, Dublin and Paris, with proceeds going towards organisations supporting Palestinians. The announcement comes amid controversy over his pro-Palestinian remarks during Sheeran’s MetLife Stadium shows.

Macklemore announces Free Palestine concert

Days after the Ed Sheeran row, rapper Macklemore has announced a new tour. As part of his Free Palestine tour, Macklemore will perform in London on October 20, followed by a show in Dublin on October 26 and Paris three days later, on October 29. Sharing the announcement, he wrote, “What happened to me is bigger than one artist or one stage. When the billionaire class can decide which voices are allowed on stage and which ones are too dangerous to hear, everyone should be paying attention.”
