Birmingham, AL, September 24, 2026 —
Rapper Macklemore has announced plans for a new tour titled “Free Palestine,” with initial dates scheduled to take place in Dublin, Paris, and London. This announcement follows recent events where Macklemore was reportedly removed from Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour. The artist’s removal came after he made public comments in support of Palestine while performing onstage.
Proceeds generated from the upcoming “Free Palestine” tour are slated to be directed towards organizations that support Palestine. Specific details regarding the full itinerary, including exact dates for the Dublin, Paris, and London shows, and the names of the beneficiary organizations, were not immediately provided.
The decision to launch this tour appears to be a direct response to the artist’s vocal stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its impact on his previous touring engagements. Macklemore, whose real name is Ben Haggerty, has previously expressed solidarity with Palestinian causes. The specific terms or reasons for his departure from Ed Sheeran’s tour were not detailed in the initial announcement. The scope of the “Free Palestine” tour beyond the initial European cities remains to be confirmed.
