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. After discussions with stakeholders, Macklemore will not be performing on the remaining support dates.Messina Touring Group to Rolling Stone as quoted in *Macklemore Dropped From Ed Sheeran Tour After Onstage ‘Free Palestine’ Statements (14 September 2026)
