O show foi realizado na 3Arena na noite passada (segunda‑feira, 26 de outubro), e marcou o primeiro de três shows que o rapper planejou.

All shows are free, and encourage visitors to donate to humanitarian relief charities, which work to provide medical aid, medical care, education and advocacy for the people in Palestine.

These include Medical Aid for Palestinians, the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, UNRWA USA, Anera, and Jewish Voice for Peace.

Agora, na primeira das três apresentações “Free Palestine”, Macklemore subiu ao palco da 3Arena em Dublin e contou com apresentações de Hozier, Kneecap e Beoga.

O último também estava no “Loop Tour”, mas se retirou em apoio a Macklemore após ser dispensado.

When Hozier took to the stage, he shared how it felt fitting for the first of the three shows to be held in Ireland, sharing: “We have a wonderful history of global solidarity when it comes to issues of emancipation and justice.

Uma história maravilhosa de antirracismo também." Ele continuou tocando alguns de seus maiores sucessos, incluindo ‘Take Me To Church’ e ‘Too Sweet’.

Others to perform at the free benefit show were DJ Habibeats, M1 of Dead Prez and Lina Makoul.

Guest speakers on the night included activist Nadia Greenspan, artist Samir Eskanda, and Game of Thrones actor Liam Cunningham, who all gave impassioned speeches, and remote appearances in support of the show came from The Strokes’ Julian Casablancas, Mark Ruffalo, Natasha Rothwell and Cynthia Nixon.

For his headline set, Macklemore broke out 10-songs towards the end of the night, including chart-toppers ‘Thrift Shop’ and ‘Can’t Hold Us’.

Looking at what led to the shows being made, he spoke about being kicked off the ‘Loop Tour’, and said before later performing in a Kneecap jersey: “Six weeks ago, it was two words.

Duas palavras foram tudo o que foi preciso. Duas palavras enraizadas no amor e na libertação. Não contra ninguém. Não divisivas. Não um chamado ao ódio, mas um convite para reconhecer nossa humanidade compartilhada.

Ele continuou: “Enquanto o mundo debate aquelas palavras, vemos os vídeos. Vemos as filmagens de pais tirando seus filhos do meio de escombros. Famílias apagadas.

But somehow those words have become more controversial than the suffering that made them necessary.”.

The next of the sold-out ‘Free Palestine’ shows will take place in Paris on Thursday (October 29), held at the Accor Arena, before wrapping up at London’s OVO Arena Wembley on Friday (October 30).

For his first show since being removed from Sheeran’s tour, the rapper played a 17-song set at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado on Thursday night (October 22).

Ele continuou: “Eu digo, libere o Sudão. Eu digo, libere o Congo, o Líbano, o Haiti, a todos os que são afetados pelo ICE na América, que temem deixar suas casas.”.
