Macklemore Removed From Loop Tour Lineup
Macklemore was removed from the Loop Tour after two concerts following a petition, leading to act cancellations and donation announcements.
Ed Sheeran, Macklemore, and Ryan Lewis released a song titled Growing Up back in 2015. On September 4, Macklemore performed his first concert as part of the Loop Tour. Following the performances at the MetLife concerts, the Israeli-American Council launched a petition requesting the official removal of Macklemore from the tour lineup.
Macklemore was removed from the Loop Tour lineup on September 14, after he had performed at only two concerts. Following a statement released by Ed Sheeran, the other opening group artists on the tour also cancelled their respective performances and left the tour. Furthermore, the band Beoga announced on September 15 that they would not appear in any of the remaining concerts on the tour.
Macklemore publicly announced that he would donate the entire 1 million dollars he earned from the Loop Tour to organizations that supply aid to Palestinians. In addition, Ed Sheeran asked Robert Kraft to donate 2 million dollars to the region to help support efforts addressing the humanitarian crisis.
