Sheeran Tour Amid Artist Walkouts | Venice Beach News

Ed Sheeran’s Loop tour is still going ahead in Philly this Saturday despite a chaotic lineup shake-up sparked by Macklemore’s Palestine speech — which led to his exit and a domino effect of other artists dropping out in solidarity. Macklemore’s donating his tour earnings to Palestinian aid, while Sheeran insists he wasn’t behind the removal and wants his shows to stay apolitical. Artists like Finneas and Beoga have joined the walkout, calling for artistic freedom, while Sheeran defends his stance, saying he avoids public commentary on politics to focus on unity through music. The North American leg continues through November, amid growing debate over artists’ roles in global discourse.
