Macklemore played three sold out days in Europe during the Free Palestine tour.

By mid-September, we received available dates at these arenas through the end of the year. But once they found out these were my benefit shows for Palestine, those dates were suddenly off the table.

The doors were closed. The conversations were all different, but the result was the same. The shows were not going to be allowed to happen in these venues.

    I think I missed something. He’s doing a new Palestine support tour?

    Is this a nice thing for a celebrity to do or is there something shitty going on?

      Ed Sheeran dropped him as an opening act a few months(?) ago at the arena’s behest for Macklemore’s outward comments on the genocide
