Macklemore opened his Free Palestine Tour in Dublin on October 26, 2026, after being removed as a supporting act on Ed Sheeran’s US tour over pro-Palestinian comments.

Free Palestine Tour dates and proceeds

Promoters said the Dublin opening show at the 3Arena had sold out. Macklemore announced the tour in September, saying all proceeds would benefit pro-Palestinian organizations.

Shows in London and Paris were scheduled for late October, with US dates also planned.

Removal from Sheeran’s tour

Macklemore was removed from Sheeran’s US tour after shouting “Free Palestine!” on stage and telling Palestinians they were “not forgotten.” Sheeran said tour promoters, rather than he, made the decision.

Four other supporting artists, including American singer Finneas, subsequently withdrew from the tour in solidarity with Macklemore. Sheeran later addressed the situation in Gaza at a Philadelphia concert, calling it “unjustifiable and disproportionate.”
