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.

Macklemore (43) responded on Instagram to the pro-Palestinian statement made by country star Zach Bryan (30) during his performance at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts. The rapper shared a photo of Bryan and his band on Monday and quoted singer Nina Simone: “An artist’s duty is, as far as I am concerned, to reflect the times in which he lives.”
On Saturday, October 3rd, the 30-year-old former Navy came up on stage with a message in support of the Palestinian people. A gesture that resonates with Macklemore's words a few days ago and shakes the small club of the artists of the foreground, still too tiring on the ground of engagement.
