Ed Sheeran Opener Aaron Rowe Pulls Out of Tour After Macklemore Dropped: ‘I Cannot Allow Billionaires to Silence Rightful Voices’

Singer-songwriter Aaron Rowe has withdrawn from the North American leg of Ed Sheeran’s Loop tour. His departure follows the dismissal of fellow supporting act Macklemore, who was removed from the tour after expressing support for Palestine during recent performances in New Jersey. Rowe cited his decision as a protest against the use of corporate power to silence voices speaking out against the conflict in Gaza.

Following Rowe’s announcement, other musical acts, including Finneas, Lukas Graham, and the band Beoga, have also reportedly exited the tour. These departures reflect a broader trend of artists aligning their professional commitments with their political stances regarding the humanitarian crisis in Palestine.
