English pop star Ed Sheeran headlined his inaugural performance following the removal of opening act Macklemore, who was dropped from the tour after delivering pro-Palestinian comments during a show. The decision ignited significant controversy and triggered a chain reaction, causing multiple other support artists to withdraw from the tour. These performers released public statements citing their solidarity with Palestinians.
Attendance at Saturday’s event presented a mixed scene. While some concertgoers were observed attempting to sell their tickets, others were visibly vocal in their backing of the ‘Shape of You’ singer. The story is reported by Charlotte Hughes.
