Musical acts Finneas, Lukas Graham, Beoga and Aaron Rowe have dropped out as openers for the North American leg of Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour following the dismissal of fellow supporting act Macklemore
Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour is coming apart at the seams as Finneas, opener Aaron Rowe, Lukas Graham, and Sheeran's own house band Beoga have all dropped out in solidarity with Macklemore's dismissal - which leaves the remainder of his tour without an opener.
Sheeran’s backing band, Beoga, announced their departure due to “the silencing of Macklemore by Zionist lobbies.”
Ed Sheeran is set to take the stage – possibly without an opening act – Saturday night at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field, his first stop since Macklemore was dropped from the tour’s US dates over his pro-Palestinian remarks onstage, leading Sheeran’s other opening acts to resign.
FINNEAS backs Palestine and leaves Ed Sheeran’s tour as Macklemore’s removal fuels a wider revolt among supporting performers.
