Petition Calls for Macklemore’s Removal From Ed Sheeran Tour Over Pro-Palestine Performance
An Israeli-American advocacy group has launched a petition urging Ed Sheeran’s tour organisers to remove Macklemore from the remaining dates of the Loop Tour. Macklemore opened for Sheeran at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium on September 4 and 5, where he voiced support for Palestinians, performed his 2024 protest song “Hinds Hall” and displayed Gaza-related images on screen. The move has divided concertgoers and online commenters. Critics said they paid for a music show rather than political messaging and accused him of antisemitic rhetoric, while supporters defended his right to speak on the Israel-Gaza war. The accusations reflect the views of critics and do not, by themselves, establish that his remarks were antisemitic.
