On Thursday, October 29, American rapper Macklemore took the stage at the Accor Arena in Paris for the second concert of his newly organized "Free Palestine Tour." This event followed a stop in Dublin on October 26 and precedes an upcoming show in London scheduled for October 30. The tour was launched by the 43-year-old artist and his team in response to his removal from Ed Sheeran's tour on September 14, which occurred after Macklemore displayed support for the Palestinian cause during a performance.
Macklemore stated proudly that the three European shows were organized in less than five weeks. All three concerts have sold out, with proceeds directed toward twelve organizations operating in Palestine. During the Paris performance, the rapper highlighted the rapid response of the local audience, noting that tickets for the venue were sold in just ten minutes.
The concert featured French singer Pomme, who joined Macklemore on stage to encourage the audience to contribute further to the cause. A QR code displayed prominently in the background allowed attendees to make direct donations during the event.
