US rapper Macklemore announces Free Palestine tour after Ed Sheeran fallout

US rapper Macklemore, who was controversially dropped from Ed Sheeran’s US tour after speaking out against Israel’s actions in Gaza, announced a series of shows supporting Palestine in Dublin, Paris, and London in late October. He will be joined by other musicians, whose names will be announced soon, and all proceeds will go to causes supporting the Palestinian people. Macklemore emphasized that recent weeks have shown a shift towards collective awakening regarding Palestinian liberation and that artists are expected to use their platforms for activism.
