Macklemore is turning his removal from Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour into a new run of his own, announcing a three-city “Free Palestine Tour” in Europe with additional artists and U.S. dates still to come.

The rapper announced the benefit tour Thursday, with concerts scheduled for Oct. 26 at 3Arena in Dublin, Oct. 29 at Accor Arena in Paris and Oct. 30 at OVO Arena Wembley in London. Ticketmaster is billing the shows as “Macklemore & Friends,” though participating artists have not yet been announced.

Macklemore said all proceeds from the concerts will benefit organizations “supporting the Palestinian people and movement.”

I'm not a rap guy but I downloaded a number of his songs after the raucous, Hind's Hall is pretty good. The other songs are all right too.

I've never listened to him before gave him a try (thanks, Sheeran). I like someone who doesn't take themself too seriously.

I especially liked Thrift Shop.

And he made an absolute killing’ off of that song too by initially making the song popular before they just contracted services for distribution instead of the normal record deal which entirely favors the record companies. He is talented and very smart.
