Macklemore calls on more artists to stand up for Palestine as he announces his ‘Free Palestine’ tour: “If these last couple of weeks have shown us anything, it's that something has shifted over the last three years. There has been a collective awakening around Palestinian liberation, the power of billionaires that try to censor that call, and what we expect from artists right now. 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. To use the stage for more than entertainment. To push back when the call for a Free Palestine is met with attempts to silence it. What happened to me is bigger than one artist or one stage. When the billionaire class can decide which voices are allowed on stage and which ones are too dangerous to hear, everyone should be paying attention.”

Macklemore announces a ‘Free Palestine’ tour, with additional artists set to join the lineup to be announced soon. All proceeds from the tour will benefit organizations supporting Palestinians.
