Macklemore announces ‘Free Palestine’ music tour after Ed Sheeran debacle
Macklemore announced that he and special guests will be traveling overseas for the “Free Palestine Tour” after his controversy with Ed Sheeran.
On Thursday, the “Thrift Shop” rapper took to Instagram to share that the tour will hit Dublin on Oct. 26, Paris on Oct. 29 and conclude with a stop in London on Oct. 30.
Dates for shows in the United States and “artist announcements” will be released soon.
“If these last couple of weeks have shown us anything, it’s that something has shifted over the last three years,” Macklemore, born Benjamin Haggerty, captioned his post.
“There has been a collective awakening around Palestinian liberation, the power of billionaires that try to censor that call, and what we expect from artists right now,” he added.
The “Glorious” emcee, 43, then appeared to take shots at Sheeran, who attempted to stay neutral on the war in Gaza.

“It’s 2026. Being apolitical during a genocide doesn’t work anymore,” Macklemore penned.
“People are asking artists to show up, educate themselves and be in community. To use the stage for more than entertainment. To push back when the call for a Free Palestine is met with attempts to silence it,” he shared.
