Macklemore is taking his newly announced 'Free Palestine Tour' to Europe next month, with tickets for the first shows going on sale within days and more cities, including stops in the United States, expected to follow.

The rapper will initially bring 'Macklemore & Friends: Free Palestine Tour' to Dublin, Paris and London in October, with all proceeds from the concerts benefiting organisations supporting Palestinians. But one major detail remains under wraps: exactly which 'friends' will be joining him on stage.

Macklemore Free Palestine Tour Dates and Venues

The first leg will begin at Dublin's 3Arena on 26 October before heading to the Accor Arena in Paris on 29 October. Macklemore will then perform at OVO Arena Wembley in London on 30 October.

The three European concerts are not expected to be the extent of the tour. Organisers have confirmed that more cities and dates will be announced in the coming weeks, including shows in the United States.

Dublin currently provides the clearest picture of what fans can expect to pay.

Tickets for the 3Arena show are priced at €67.65 ($76 or £58) and €77.20 ($87 or £66), subject to a 12.5% Ticketmaster service charge capped at €10.50 ($11 or £9) per ticket. The Dublin concert has an eight-ticket limit per person.

For Paris, ticket listings currently advertise seats starting from €68.70 (£59.14, $78.12) for the Accor Arena concert.

Standard prices for the London show have not yet been published by Ticketmaster. Fans will be limited to six tickets per person and household at OVO Arena Wembley.

Who Are the 'Friends' Joining Macklemore?

Despite the concerts being advertised as 'Macklemore & Friends,' Macklemore remains the only artist officially listed by Ticketmaster for the Dublin and London dates.

The rapper, whose real name is Benjamin Haggerty, said he has spent the past week contacting artists who have publicly stood in solidarity with Palestinians.

'I've spent the last week reaching out to artists who have shown up and used their stages to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people, regardless of the consequences,' Macklemore said when announcing the concerts.

He acknowledged that the tour had come together quickly and that conversations, schedules and other details were still being worked out. No additional performers have been officially named.

Where Will Free Palestine Tour Proceeds Go?

All proceeds will benefit 12 organisations, including Anera, Gaza Soup Kitchen, HEAL Palestine, Medical Aid for Palestinians, Palestine Children's Relief Fund and UNRWA USA.

The beneficiaries work across medical care, humanitarian assistance, education, advocacy and community support connected to Palestinians.

Tour Follows Macklemore's Ed Sheeran Fallout

The announcement comes after Macklemore was removed from Ed Sheeran's US stadium tour following his pro-Palestinian remarks during a 4 September performance.

Addressing the controversy while announcing his own shows, Macklemore said: 'Being apolitical during a genocide doesn't work anymore.'
