All Four Sheeran Openers Quit Over Macklemore Removal

All four opening performers on Ed Sheeran’s Loop tour — Finneas, Lukas Graham, Aaron Rowe and Beoga — quit in support of Macklemore. Upcoming shows now have no openers, the shorter sets before the headliner, or live band. Sheeran said venue owners pressured him to drop Macklemore over his Sept. 4 “free Palestine” speech at MetLife Stadium.
