By Gabija Gataveckaite, Barry O'Connor Macklemore has begun his Free Palestine tour in Dublin after Ed Sheeran's controversial decision to drop the rapper from his tour last month. The American star is playing to a crowd of up to 13,000 at the city's 3Arena - and, hours before the sell-crowd show, had promised "many incredible surprise guests".

He was criticised by Jewish groups after saying "Free Palestine" at two concerts and making political speeches, including referring to the death toll from Israel's military action in Gaza as a genocide - a claim that Israel rejects.
Sheeran后来强调，除名Macklemore的决定是由他的推广方做出的，而非他本人。
Sheeran later stressed that the decision to drop Macklemore was made by his promoter, not by himself.

为什么麦克莱莫被从埃德·谢尔顿（Ed Sheeran）的巡演中除名？
Why was Macklemore dropped from Ed Sheeran's tour?
争议始于麦克莱莫在九月初于新泽西州为谢尔顿的演唱会担任开场嘉宾时说：“我之所以想参加这次巡演，主要是因为我想在像这样的体育馆里站出来说两句对我非常重要的话：Free Palestine。”这位《Thrift Shop》说唱歌手随后在美国哥伦比亚大学为支持巴勒斯坦的抗议者演唱了一首歌曲。
The controversy began when Macklemore, performing as the opening act for Sheeran at a concert in New Jersey in early September, said: "A big part of the reason why I wanted to do this tour in the first place is so that I could stand up in stadiums like this and say two words that are very, very dear to my heart: Free Palestine." The Thrift Shop rapper then performed a song dedicated to pro-Palestinian protesters at Columbia University in the US.
歌词批评了2023年10月7日哈马斯发动袭击后以色列在加沙的军事行动。
The lyrics are critical of Israel's military actions in Gaza after the 7 October 2023 Hamas-led attack.

After he was taken off the tour on 14 September, Macklemore accused stadium owners of rallying together to push him out.

希兰表示，让麦克莫尔退出巡演的决定是由演唱会推广方梅西纳巡演集团做出的。
Sheeran said that the decision to drop Macklemore from his tour was made by concert promoter Messina Touring Group.
他早先的言论导致所有暖场表演嘉宾为声援麦克莫尔而退出巡演，粉丝也表达了不满。随后，希兰在费城一场演出开始时回应了这场争议。
His early remarks led to all of his support acts to drop out of the tour in solidarity with Macklemore, and fans to express frustration. Sheeran then addressed the controversy during the start of a gig in Philadelphia.
