Donating $1 million to organisations supporting Palestine wasn’t enough for Macklemore. After being spinelessly booted from Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour, the beloved artist and humanitarian has announced the Free Palestine Tour, with shows in Dublin, Paris, and London, and U.S. tour dates on the way.
The lineup for the Free Palestine Tour has yet to be announced but is in the works. Expect to see artists on the bill who have always spoken up for Palestine, even when their careers were on the line and their shows were getting canceled.
“I’ve spent the last week reaching out to artists who have shown up and used their stages to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people, regardless of the consequences,” shared Macklemore on social media. “Artists who understand that our platforms mean very little if we’re only willing to use them when it’s safe.”
“Because of how quickly all of this has come together, a lot of the conversations, schedules and details are still being worked out. But this is a moment of momentum, and there is work to be done.”
In Dublin, the Free Palestine Tour will take place at 3Arena on October 26, Accor Arena in Paris on Oct. 29, and Wembley Arena in Londong on Oct. 30
How To Get A Presale Code
Presale for the Free Palestine Tour begins Monday, Sept. 28 at 10 a.m. local time. Fans can sign up now to receive a presale code for early ticket access.
All proceeds will benefit organizations supporting the Palestinian people and movement.
Macklemore shared the following statement in his social media.
“If these last couple of weeks have shown us anything, it’s that something has shifted over the last three years. There has been a collective awakening around Palestinian liberation, the power of billionaires that try to censor that call, and what we expect from artists right now.
It’s 2026. Being apolitical during a genocide doesn’t work anymore.
People are asking artists to show up, educate themselves and be in community. To use the stage for more than entertainment. To push back when the call for a Free Palestine is met with attempts to silence it.
What happened to me is bigger than one artist or one stage. When the billionaire class can decide which voices are allowed on stage and which ones are too dangerous to hear, everyone should be paying attention.”
