Ed Sheeran fans were met with backlash Saturday in Philadelphia, ahead of his return to the stage following the dramatic fallout of his entire slate of opening acts.
Pro-Palestinian protesters descended upon Lincoln Financial Field waving Palestinian flags and chanting “Free Palestine,” one week after Macklemore was dropped from Sheeran’s tour.
Macklemore, who’s full name is Ben Haggerty, was kicked off Sheeran’s Loop Tour following criticism from his “Free Palestine” messaging during his opening act at MetLife Stadium last weekend.

Ed Sheeran addressed Macklemore’s removal from his U.S. tour Tuesday, saying the rapper’s departure was ultimately a decision made by the concert promoter and venues — not by him.
The “Shape of You” singer said he was “appalled” by the conflict between Israel and Palestine and described the suffering on both sides as “a human tragedy,” according to a lengthy statement shared on Instagram after Macklemore accused Sheeran and tour organizers of sidelining him over his pro-Palestinian remarks.
