After being removed from Ed Sheeran's tour for showing support for the Palestinian people during the ongoing genocide , Macklemore has now announced the Free Palestine Tour, which is taking place in Dublin, Paris and London, UK, next month. All proceeds from the three shows will benefit organizations that support the Palestinian people and the Palestinian movement.
Among these organizations are Gaza Soup Kitchen, Middle East Children's Alliance, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, Palestinian Youth Movement, Jewish Voices For Peace and more.
"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," Macklemore wrote in an Instagram caption.
He continued, "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. So, as you all know, my schedule freed up a bit.
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. 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. So we're going on tour.
The artists joining Macklemore across the three dates will be announced soon, along with US gigs.
Presales begin September 28 at 10 a.m. local time, with general on-sale following on September 30. Check out the schedule below.
10/26 Dublin, Ireland - 3Arena 10/29 Paris, France - Accor Arena 10/30 London, UK - Wembley Arena
