Macklemore removed from Ed Sheeran tour after Palestine speech
A major shift has occurred in the lineup for Ed Sheeran’s upcoming U.S. Loop Tour, as rapper Macklemore will no longer be performing as the opening act. This change follows a highly publicized moment where Macklemore addressed the global political climate at a concert in New Jersey.
The decision stems from an impassioned speech delivered by the artist on September 4th at the MetLife stadium. During the event, Macklemore made a strong statement advocating for the Palestinian cause, addressing the ongoing situation since the start of the genocide in 2023.
The raw emotion and political nature of the address quickly drew significant attention, leading to a high-profile decision regarding the tour schedule and the participation of other artists.
