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.”
It’s a shitty comparison. Last I remember the empire didn’t fund the rebels. That said I wouldn’t rank Israel and the leadership the Palestinians were allowed to have equally. Hamas never did much for the Palestinians, but then Israel wouldn’t have allowed it anyhow.
