The sold-out Dublin concert marked the official launch of Macklemore’s “Free Palestine” tour.

The series of benefit performances comes in the wake of the artist's removal as an opening act from Ed Sheeran’s US stadium tour, a decision triggered by Macklemore’s public pro-Palestinian statements during previous live shows.
