US rapper Macklemore has announced a “Free Palestine” tour, with all proceeds going to organizations supporting Palestinians.
Billed as “Macklemore and Friends,” the tour opens on October 26 at Dublin’s 3Arena, followed by Paris’ Accor Arena on October 29 and London’s OVO Arena Wembley on October 30. Macklemore will be joined by other artists, and US dates are being organized.
Beneficiaries include Anera, Gaza Soup Kitchen, HEAL Palestine, Medical Aid for Palestinians, the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, Jewish Voice for Peace and UNRWA USA. A ticket pre-sale begins September 28, with general sales opening September 30.

“It’s 2026. Being apolitical during a genocide doesn’t work anymore. People are asking artists to show up, educate themselves and be in community,” Macklemore said.
The Seattle rapper was dropped from Ed Sheeran’s tour after saying “Free Palestine” on stage during a September 4 show at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Sheeran’s team attributed the decision to the tour promoter, while Macklemore alleged that Gillette Stadium owner Robert Kraft pressured other stadium owners.
