American rapper Macklemore announced that tickets for his 'Free Palestine' music tour have sold out after widespread demand, dedicating concert proceeds to organizations supporting the Palestinian people. This comes after his exclusion from British singer Ed Sheeran's US tour due to his pro-Palestine statements. Macklemore noted in a post on platform X that tickets for the three concerts sold out in a short period. He said he organized the concerts quickly, believing that musicians can show solidarity with Palestine and use the stage to raise funds. He added that art will always be a form of resistance when those in power try to silence calls for freedom. Following Macklemore's exclusion, artists participating in Sheeran's opening acts withdrew from the tour, while Sheeran faced criticism for his silence regarding what the article describes as genocide in Gaza. Macklemore has been prominent in his solidarity with Palestinians since the start of the war on Gaza in October 2023, releasing the song 'Hinds Hall 2' in September 2024 to support Gaza.
