After taking on American stadium owners who banned him from performing at their venues, Macklemore is now calling out a handful of prominent arenas that have allegedly blocked him from bringing his Free Palestine Tour to the United States.
In a statement on Instagram, the rapper updated fans who’ve been asking him when he’ll bring the charity trek — which so far has raised funds for humanitarian aid through shows in Dublin, Paris and London — to the so-called Land of the Free.
“From the beginning, we planned to bring this tour home to the U.S,” he wrote. “But after weeks of reaching out, nine major American arenas have turned us down.”
And yes, he named names. According to Macklemore, the following venues refused to discuss the possibility of hosting a Free Palestine show: “Madison Square Garden. Prudential Center. Barclays Center. UBS Arena. Intuit Dome. Kia Forum. Crypto.com Arena. Chase Center. Climate Pledge Arena.”
