Macklemore's Three Pro-Palestine Benefit Shows Sell Out
American rapper Macklemore announced on Instagram that three benefit shows he organized in Dublin, Paris and London have all sold out, with tickets going within a short window of going on sale. The shows were put together in a very short timeframe, built around solidarity with Palestine and onstage fundraising.

According to Macklemore's post, the three shows came together quickly with community support, driven by the idea that musicians can stand with Palestine — using the stage as a space for fundraising and collective action.
