Macklemore on stage in 2023Macklemore will no longer be performing as the opening act for Ed Sheeran on his ongoing US tour, after the rapper made headlines with a number of his pro-Palestine comments.
On Monday afternoon, a spokesperson for Ed’s current tour, Messina Touring Group, told Rolling Stone: “As the concert promoter for Ed Sheeran’s U.S. Loop Tour, we have been notified by venues on the upcoming US tour dates that they will not allow a concert to take place with Macklemore on the line-up, which would result in the cancellation of the tour and impact hundreds of thousands of fans.
“After discussions with stakeholders, Macklemore will not be performing on the remaining support dates.”
