US rapper Macklemore is launching a series of concerts titled “Free Palestine” starting in Europe next month, with the first show scheduled in Dublin on October 26. The concerts aim to raise funds for Palestinian aid organizations, with all proceeds going directly to support Palestinians.
The announcement follows Macklemore’s removal from Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour, which he attributes to his public pro-Palestinian comments and alleges billionaire Robert Kraft influenced the decision. Additionally, Macklemore pledged to donate one million dollars from his net earnings from the tour to six organizations supporting Palestinians.
Organizers expect to announce additional concert dates and participating artists soon, with an artist presale starting Monday. This initiative highlights ongoing international cultural support for Palestinian humanitarian causes amid the region’s crisis.
