NewzUS rapper Macklemore launched his new "Free Palestine Tour" on Monday in Dublin, Ireland, kicking off a series of charity concerts. The tour follows his removal as a supporting act from British pop star Ed Sheeran's tour due to pro-Palestinian statements.
The Dublin opening featured performances alongside Hozier and Kneecap, and notably utilized Ed Sheeran's own backing band. Promoters reported fans standing in queues outside the venue for the inaugural show in the Irish capital.
The proceeds from the tour, which includes upcoming stops in London and Paris as well as planned dates in the United States, will directly benefit pro-Palestinian groups.
