Zach Bryan dons ‘Free Palestine’ shirt at Gillette Stadium after Macklemore block

Bryan wore the shirt after Macklemore said 20,000 children have been killed in Gaza and launched a Free Palestine Tour.

  • On Friday, alt-country singer Zach Bryan performed at Gillette Stadium wearing a "Free Palestine" shirt, a fashion statement interpreted as a message directed at venue owner Robert Kraft.
  • Robert Kraft previously spearheaded a campaign to remove Macklemore from Ed Sheeran's tour, citing "material shared from the stage" and concerns over "antisemitic rhetoric and imagery" that crossed a line.
  • Sheeran claimed the removal was the "promoter's decision" after Kraft rallied other stadium owners to threaten he would not perform in their venues if Macklemore remained on the tour.
  • Supporting the cause, Bryan's bandmates also wore shirts showing support, while Macklemore announced the "Free Palestine Tour" scheduled 10/26–10/30 in Dublin, Paris, and London.
  • Kraft maintains his actions aimed to address divisiveness, stating, "our goal is the same — peace for all people, an end to suffering, and an end to all hate.
