Macklemore was removed from Ed Sheeran's U.S. tour after voicing support for Palestine during his performances. Following this, several acts, including Finneas and Lukas Graham, left the tour in solidarity with Macklemore. U2 has spoken out in support of Macklemore's right to free expression, with The Edge stating that they fully support his right to say what he chose to say. Macklemore has since organized a series of benefit concerts in Europe, which have been successful, raising funds for Palestinian causes. However, he has faced difficulties in securing venues for his planned U.S. benefit concerts, with nine major arenas declining to host the events.
