Philly Deploys Massive Police Force For Ed Sheeran Concert As Macklemore Protest Becomes Global Flashpoint

Macklemore turned Ed Sheeran’s stadium tour into a political battleground, and now Philadelphia is bracing for the fallout. The rapper performed at MetLife Stadium on September 4th and 5th, shouting “Free Palestine” while displaying images of Gaza’s devastation, and the backlash came swiftly and relentlessly. Pro-Israel groups launched petitions, Robert Kraft allegedly rallied stadium owners to pressure Sheeran into dropping him, and by mid-September Macklemore was officially off the tour.
