What a crazy 24 hours to follow this. I have no interest in any of these artists but respect to all of them for standing up. I only wish everyone would go one step further and refuse to ever play at Krafts Gillette stadium going forward to really stick it to him.

Kid Rock or Boy George might be able to open for Ed, lol
the house band dropping is bigger than the openers dropping. dude just shat the bed and then rolled in it.
Yep, in reality “Ed Sheeran’s backup musicians” have a lot more to lose here than Sheeran himself does, and they’re doing the right thing. He should follow their lead.
yeah, Beoga's (the backup musicians/house band's maybe? i don't know the tour) statement is worth reading (sorry for the instagram link but i figure direct from the source is best). One wonders why he didn't consult his band.
It's great to be on the right side of history.
Free Palestine. If those words cost me the stage, while turning the conversation back to Palestine, then it was the most successful tour I’ve been on.”
Get fucked, Robert Kraft.
Macklemore is the better act anyway. Most people probably would have cleared out after he finished
I never saw Ed Sheeran but I saw Mac and can confirm he puts on a hell of a show.
I never saw either.. But, I have a lot of interest seeing Macklemore.. I have NO interest seeing Ed Sheeran honestly.
Macklemore probably "speaks" to more people too. I didn't like his music when I first heard it, but, it grew on me fast
I saw him at the gorge around when he dropped Thrift Shop. I'd definitely see him again.
I've never had the opportunity to see Ed Sheeran, largely because I've never sought out the opportunity to see Ed Sheeran.
Yeah, its like having Rammstein opening for your classic rock band.
I didn't actually give rammstein a proper chance until recently. Was connected to a customers system and they were blasting rammstein, which came to my computer. Actually didn't mind it. Added it to my library
Engel has my favorite whistle in a song ever, and Feuer Frei is a straight banger.
Also, they been a rock band for like 30 years. They are classic rock :-(
If you like Rammstein, you might like Laibach even more 😂 even Laibach says so
My favourite little clip is from Chad Smith and his interactions with Till Lindeman.
My ex once took me to see some small band I can't even remember the name of because it turned out Robert Plant was the opening act. He was secretly opening so he could test out some new material he was working on (Saving Grace) without precolouring people's perceptions, but he was also Robert Plant so he blew the crowd away. I felt genuinely bad that a bunch of young twenty something's had been put in the position of having to follow up on one of the greatest singers of all time. I remember them being fine, I might have enjoyed them in another context, but the contrast in skill and experience was just insurmountable.
Oh, Ed. Ed, Ed, Edward, Eddington. What have you done, fool?
Now if you play alone you'll be saying that genocide is ok, AND you've be knelt down to the billionaires.
If you get another backing band/openers then you'll be saying genocide is ok, AND you'll be actively helping the billionaires.
But if you now pull out of your own tour you'll be seen as you didn't want to pull out but were forced to by all the bad publicity about the genocide that you weren't bothered about in the first place.
Oh, Ed, you've painted yourself into a corner, you dumb fucking cunt. All you had to do was have a little bit of spine, but that was just too much to ask of you.
Right? As soon as they threatened it he had all the leverage in the world. He would have all the positive press of saying he was being forced to cancel because of them, and showed solidarity with his fellow musicians. Could have even offered additional concerts in friendlier areas, promoting other cities and getting more dollars there.
Instead he fucked himself. The only way to semi crawl back is to admit his mistake and stand in solidarity, that's the only move I see, and even then as you said he won't look strong but like a coward.
Meanwhile, Macklemore is coming out of this looking better than ever 😂
Those content with the genocide deserve the same fate as the ones committing it. Fuck you Ed Sheeran.
Didn’t the billionaire class step up and say they would cancel all the venues if Macklemore wasn’t dropped?
Certainly has turned into a cluster fuck.
Ed should have called that bluff instead of giving in
Does he look like the kind of guy that fights the powers that be?
He could have just booked a park and held an open air concert in those cities. He doesn’t need these venues as much as they need artists.
Kraft actually told the other football stadium owners to blacklist him.
including his "backup band"
Hopefully this recenters Zionist rule over Americans problem for mid terms.
I'll do it! I can play the guitar. My wife doesn't like me playing at all. Neither does the neighbors cat. But I'll do it!
Robert Kraft is a Zionist POS.
Ed is a ginger without a soul.
I wanna get it on the record that even most gingers are against genocide.
Ed just sucks.
Reminder that Bob Kraft, a known friend of Epstien, paid to get his hog cranked by trafficked Asian women at a Florida rub ‘n tug joint.
So... Ed Sheeran has been a zionist all this time? That's explain why he has been famous which such as shitty music. Is the most simple basic npc I have ever Heard.
I guess it wasn't just She that ran.
Ed almost certainly had signed contracts with these venues. If they cancelled him they almost certainly would have had to pay him for lost revenue. They signed him knowing Macklemore was opening and held a moment about Palestine in every show for the last year. It would have been an easy court win but Ed didn't want that smoke for his next go round. Absolute punk move.
