American rapper Macklemore is set to embark on a "Free Palestine" tour, just days after being removed from Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour for his pro-Palestinian remarks. Macklemore, whose real name is Benjamin Haggerty, announced the tour on Thursday, stating that proceeds will support Palestinian organizations. He revealed his schedule cleared up, allowing him to focus on the cause.
The Dublin stop is scheduled for 26 October, with performances in Paris and London following. Additional US dates are expected to be announced soon. The tour aims to amplify the momentum shown by the pro-Palestinian movement, as Macklemore believes artists must stand firm against censorship. Macklemore's comments led to other artists backing out of Sheeran's tour, and Sheeran later apologized for his handling of the situation.
