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 think London will put even more pressure on the British Government since the Public Opinion over there is pretty much on the opposite side of Her Majesty's Government and most of the rest of the political class on this (the latter are unwavering supporters of Israel and their Genocide, to the point of using the kind of powers used in Dictatorships to push back on criticism of it, such as having critics of Israel and its Genocide arrested as "Supporters of Terrorism", so worse even than the "crimes" Putin in Russia created to deal with his critics).
