Macklemore vows to fight until 'last breath' at opening of 'Free Palestine' tour
Macklemore launched his Free Palestine tour with a sold-out 13,000-ticket show and vowed to keep speaking out against Israel’s war in Gaza.
- On Monday, American rapper Macklemore launched his 'Free Palestine' concert tour in Dublin, vowing to continue speaking out against Israel's war in Gaza after being dropped from Ed Sheeran's US tour.
- Six weeks ago, Macklemore was removed from Sheeran's tour after criticizing Israeli government actions at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium, saying 'Those two words are so threatening to some people that we'd rather silence those two words.'
- Addressing a 13,000-strong audience, Macklemore performed alongside Irish acts Hozier, Kneecap, and Beoga, while confirming all tour proceeds will support 12 humanitarian organizations, including Medical Aid for Palestinians.
- Irish activists including actor Liam Cunningham joined the stage in solidarity, while Sheeran's tour promoter had dropped Macklemore due to venue objections, prompting other support acts to withdraw in his favor.
- The tour continues this week with sold-out shows in Paris and London, as Macklemore calls for unity and 'shared humanity' while waving a Palestinian flag throughout his performances.
