American rapper Macklemore has announced a new concert tour dedicated to supporting Palestine, following a public fallout with British pop star Ed Sheeran over political differences.
The upcoming tour is set to begin next month in Dublin, Ireland. Macklemore announced that all proceeds generated from the concert dates will be directed toward organizations providing aid and support to Palestinians.
The tour announcement comes in the wake of tensions between Macklemore and Ed Sheeran regarding their respective public stances on the ongoing Middle East conflict. Macklemore has been an outspoken advocate for Palestinian causes, releasing politically charged music and participating in solidarity demonstrations over the past year.
Further details regarding the specific beneficiary organizations and full routing for the tour are expected to be announced ahead of the Dublin kickoff next month.
