Ed Sheeran’s U.S. tour faced falling ticket demand and support-act withdrawals after promoter Messina Touring Group removed Macklemore following pro-Palestinian comments at New Jersey concerts. Sheeran said the decision was not his, while Macklemore said the two ended in fundamental disagreement. Aaron Rowe, Lukas Graham, Finneas and Beoga also left, and pro-Palestinian groups planned a protest outside Sheeran’s next Philadelphia show. Some resale tickets fell below market value, while fans disagreed over whether Sheeran had contractual or moral obligations.
