Rapper Macklemore has announced that nine U.S. venues declined his Free Palestine benefit tour. Despite receiving potential dates from these venues, they withdrew upon learning the tour’s purpose. Macklemore had previously been removed from Ed Sheeran’s tour for making pro-Palestinian remarks.
The Free Palestine Tour, which supports Palestinian aid groups, saw successful shows in Dublin, Paris, and London. However, efforts to organize U.S. shows encountered obstacles. Venues such as Madison Square Garden and Barclays Center are among those cited. Administrator responses were not immediately available.
MSG Entertainment mentioned limited availability and questioned Macklemore’s suitability for large arenas.
