He has also donated $1 million to support Palestinians.
Now, Macklemore says his schedule has opened up, giving him time to organize a new run of shows.
He said he has spent the past week talking with artists who have publicly supported Palestinians and used their platforms to speak about the issue.
The first announced stops are Dublin, Paris and London, with more artists and US dates expected to be announced soon.
Macklemore said all proceeds from the tour will benefit organizations supporting the Palestinian people and movement.

"If these last couple of weeks have shown us anything, it’s that something has shifted over the last three years. There has been a collective awakening around Palestinian liberation, the power of billionaires that try to censor that call, and what we expect from artists right now.
It’s 2026. Being apolitical during a genocide doesn’t work anymore. People are asking artists to show up, educate themselves and be in community. To use the stage for more than entertainment. To push back when the call for a Free Palestine is met with attempts to silence it.
What happened to me is bigger than one artist or one stage. When the billionaire class can decide which voices are allowed on stage and which ones are too dangerous to hear, everyone should be paying attention.
So, as you all know, my schedule freed up a bit.
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. Artists who understand that our platforms mean very little if we’re only willing to use them when it’s safe.
Because of how quickly all of this has come together, a lot of the conversations, schedules and details are still being worked out. But this is a moment of momentum, and there is work to be done.
So we’re going on tour.
FREE PALESTINE TOUR.
