Macklemore Announces ‘Free Palestine’ Benefit Concert Series
Macklemore has announced a series of concerts titled “Free Palestine,” beginning in Dublin on October 26, with proceeds intended for organizations providing aid to Palestinians.
US rapper Macklemore has announced a new concert series titled “Free Palestine”, with performances set to begin in Europe next month.
The first concert is scheduled to take place in Dublin on October 26. Organizers say all proceeds from the series will go to organizations providing aid to Palestinians.
More dates and artists expected
Further concert dates and the names of participating artists are expected to be released soon. An artist presale is scheduled to begin on Monday, although the announcement does not specify the exact date.
The announcement comes after Macklemore was removed from Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour following his public pro-Palestinian comments on stage.
Macklemore has claimed that businessman Robert Kraft influenced the decision to remove him from the tour. That claim is attributed to Macklemore and has not been independently established in the available information.
Previous donation pledge
Macklemore has also said he would donate $1 million from his net earnings from the tour to six organizations supporting Palestinians. The organizations have not been identified.
The aid groups that will receive proceeds from the new concert series have likewise not been named. Further details are expected as additional dates and artists are announced.
