In an exclusive statement shared with Rolling Stone, Messina Touring Group, promoter of the U.S. leg of Sheeran’s Loop Tour, said: “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.
…
The venues that allegedly objected to the rapper include: Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia; Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts; Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta; Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis; Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina; AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas; and Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.
Ed Sheeran supports genocide? What a racist bigot. Bye, Felicia. Damn, is everyone is fucking shit stain in this timeline?
Isn’t it somewhat of a stretch to call him a “genocide supporter” when he literally got an ultimatum to either play without Macklemore or not at all and choose the first for reasons we don’t know.
He’s probably rich enough to not need this. Why do it at all when you can make a stand for innocent people being murdered. Canceling the show would send a message to all those venues and the fan base.
No.
