MSG Claims Macklemore Isn't Arena-Level Act
7 Nov
Summary
- Nine major US arenas reportedly denied Macklemore's Palestine benefit tour.
- MSG stated Macklemore is not an 'arena-level act' for their venues.
- Macklemore previously faced tour issues after 'Free Palestine' remarks.

Rapper Macklemore has publicly stated that nine major American arenas rejected his "Free Palestine" benefit tour, with Madison Square Garden among those refusing dates. He asserted that available show slots were revoked once venues learned the shows were benefits for Palestine.
MSG Entertainment responded by calling Macklemore "not an arena-level act" and highlighted their venues' busy schedules and limited availability. This situation arises after Macklemore was removed from Ed Sheeran's tour in September for making "Free Palestine" remarks.
