Ed Sheeran returned to his tour in Philadelphia following a dispute that led several acts to leave the tour and support Macklemore.

Ed Sheeran has returned to his concert tour following a recent dispute. He resumed performances on the night of September 19 at Lincoln Financial Field, located in Philadelphia.
Prior to this concert, a number of supporting performers separated from Ed Sheeran's tour after releasing statements that expressed support for Macklemore. FINNEAS, Lukas Graham, Aaron Rowe, and Beoga all departed from the tour after making these supportive statements. Furthermore, recent opening acts for Sheeran, specifically BIIRD and Myles Smith, were also listed among the figures who showed support for Macklemore.
In the aftermath of these disputes, both artists experienced notable changes in their Instagram follower counts. Ed Sheeran lost more than 200,000 followers on his Instagram account. In contrast, Macklemore gained more than 1.6 million followers on the platform.
Financial contributions were also reported in connection with the tour. Macklemore donated $1 million of his earnings generated from the tour to Palestinians. Following this donation, Robert Kraft added an extra $2 million to Macklemore's original amount to provide aid to the region.
