Zach Bryan Breaks Gillette Stadium’s Attendance Record While Wearing “Free Palestine” Shirt
The singer's performance came weeks after Gillette Stadium owner Robert Kraft's controversy with Macklemore, who was dropped from Ed Sheeran's tour over his pro-Palestine speeches.
Zach Bryan broke the attendance record at Gillette Stadium with 73,538 fans in attendance. This was the largest crowd for any event in the venue's history. According to Variety, he achieved this while wearing a “Free Palestine” shirt for the second night in a row.
The context of wearing the shirt was significant, as it came weeks after another performer, Macklemore, was dropped from Ed Sheeran's tour due to his pro-Palestinian statements. As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Gillette Stadium owner Robert Kraft was involved in this controversy with Macklemore.
Bryan's shirt read "Free Palestine" and also featured the phrases "An Appeal to Heaven". The Jerusalem Post noted that multiple reports focused on Bryan wearing the shirt during his two shows at the stadium, rather than his record-breaking attendance.
