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.
If I could spare the resources I’d go, so awesome of him to help rather than condone.
Is he helping or cashing in?
From the article:
"Macklemore said all proceeds from the concerts will benefit organizations “supporting the Palestinian people and movement.”
I wondered as well. But in any case he came out against the biggest bullies in the world, so I think helping even if he’s cashing in while doing it.
Either way he’s being a very public and vocal supporter of Palestine. This is a good thing and we need more of it.
I have no idea, he comes off as pretty sincere but you never know.
Nice, using the momentum to help get the Palestinian people out from under the thumb of Hamas and the IDF.
Also really stick it to the network if people driving celebrities to not speak out.
Would you rather be Ed Sheeran or Macklemore right now? The rich can kick you off tours but not make the masses hate you anymore.
Neither, I feel like being famous would suck.
“Help the Alderaan people from being under the thumb of the REBELS (stated first, lmao k) and the empire! “
Pro-Hamas warriors out in full force, I see.
It’s a shitty comparison. Last I remember the empire didn’t fund the rebels. That said I wouldn’t rank Israel and the leadership the Palestinians were allowed to have equally. Hamas never did much for the Palestinians, but then Israel wouldn’t have allowed it anyhow.
Nobody is pro weak pussy ham ass bro get your shit thoughts off the internet.
There’s a rapist tank and an annoying ant and you mention the ant first. We know why.
Remember when you equated Hamas to the good guys from Star Wars? Weird… I wonder why you’d do that…
Which is committing genocide?
Why do you ask?
Criminals breaking the laws are good guys? How so?
How many civilian workers died on the Death Star Luke blew up?
Uh oh, try not to think too hard now.
Criminals breaking the laws are good guys? How so?
Depends on the laws.
How many civilian workers died on the Death Star Luke blew up?
Not sure, how many was it?
Google it with your hypocrit friends.
Be mad at me instead of thinking critically.
Due to the layout of this headline on my phone screen, my first thought was, “Macklemore is gonna do free concerts in Palestine? Like, Gaza? Sounds dangerous.”
Death, death to the ZOF!
What is zof in this context? I’m out of the loop
Zionist Occupying Forces, iirc
Thank you!
👍
It’s been a decade since I’ve seen him live, but he does a really good show.
Don’t mind me, I’m just gonna start listening to Gold on repeat
I wonder if his London show will go ahead. Also, he missed a trick not adding any shows in Spain.
I’m thinking that he deliberately chose one city that’s pretty much guaranteed to welcome him and his message with open arms (Dublin), one that has a shitload of zionists AND uncowed anti-zionists so it could go either way (Paris), and one of the main zionism-enforcing and free speech-suppressing cities of the world (London)
Dublin’s gonna be a great time for everyone involved, and the other two are probably going to further the cause by generating the right headlines.
Paris is in the Schengen zone, and Germany could preemptively ban him from entering, under the Staatsräson.
Nope. Much as they’d love to, Germany can NOT just ban someone from almost all of Europe without any of the other countries getting a say.
block tge barricade until palestine is free.
