Dropkick Murphys lead singer Ken Casey stated that a main band or main artist should stand behind the groups opening for their tour. Macklemore was removed from Ed Sheeran's lineup after making pro-Palestinian statements at a concert. Gillette Stadium owner Robert Kraft gave Ed Sheeran an ultimatum, demanding that Sheeran either remove Macklemore from the lineup or cancel the upcoming concert.
In addition to giving Ed Sheeran an ultimatum, Robert Kraft was reported to have encouraged other stadium owners and NFL owners to act similarly. Ken Casey said that Dropkick Murphys might have lost half of the crowd because of their anti-Trump rhetoric during their performance at the Rocklahoma festival.
Dropkick Murphys are scheduled to perform live at a festival event in Maryland. The band will perform on October 3 in Columbia, Maryland. Their performance will take place as part of Tom Morello's Power to the People festival.
