Macklemore Announces Free Palestine Tour Dates

Macklemore announced that his three concerts in Dublin, Paris and London sold out immediately. The Free Palestine Tour will begin in Dublin on October 26, followed by dates in Paris and London. Dates in the United States will be announced later.

Macklemore said the purpose of the tour is for musicians to show solidarity with Palestine, use the stage to raise funds and demonstrate collective action. He said he has reached out to artists who are showing solidarity with the Palestinian people as part of the tour, but the names of the supporting artists have not yet been announced.

All proceeds from the tour will go to organizations supporting the Palestinian people and movement. Macklemore also thanked fans in Dublin, Paris and London. During a speech at MetLife Stadium, he said one reason for doing the tour was to say Free Palestine in stadiums. Part of the crowd applauded the speech, while some people left during the performance.
