Macklemore says Free Palestine tour 'sold out immediately'
Macklemore says all three shows of his newly announced tour to raise funds for organizations supporting Palestinians "sold out immediately." This comes less than a week after the four-time Grammy winner announced the three October dates in Dublin, Paris and London, calling it the Free Palestine tour.
Macklemore's "Free Palestine Tour" has immediately sold out all three European performances announced for October 26, 29, and 30. The rapper teased that official lineups of artists joining him on stage are "coming soon." The sold-out dates follow a tumultuous month for Macklemore, who was removed from Ed Sheeran's U.S. tour after stating "Free Palestine" during a September 4 show in New Jersey.
Sheeran's subsequent address of the Gaza conflict as "catastrophic and unjustifiable" led to the departure of other opening acts. Proceeds from the three sold-out shows will support a dozen organizations aiding Palestinians, including Gaza Soup Kitchen, Medical Aid for Palestinians, and the Palestine Children's Relief Fund.
