Macklemore is being dropped from Ed Sheeran's tour after several venues allegedly said they would not allow a concert with the rapper to take place.

In an exclusive statement shared with Rolling Stone, Messina Touring Group, promoter of the U.S. leg of Sheeran’s Loop Tour, said: “As the concert promoter for Ed Sheeran’s U.S. Loop Tour, we have been notified by venues on the upcoming U.S. tour dates that they will not allow a concert to take place with Macklemore on the lineup, which would result in the cancellation of the tour and impact hundreds of thousands of fans.

…

The venues that allegedly objected to the rapper include: Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia; Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts; Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta; Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis; Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina; AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas; and Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.

    This boycott is going weirdly backwards. instead of people actually boycotting Israeli products and businesses, it’s them that are boycotting musicians and closing businesses that are against the genocide.

    Macklemore getting affected now. People need to stop going to concerts that are organised, owned and controlled by pro-genocide scum.

    We look from afar wondering how they have so much control over the government’s etc… They have it over the general public too. People are too comfortable using, buying and going to Israeli linked things.

    That needs to stop first and foremost. Ed Sheeran should be ashamed, as he sits idly by, but equally so, the people that now know about this and still decide to attend should also be ashamed of themselves.
