The tour was created to raise funds for organizations that provide medical care, educational support, advocacy, and humanitarian relief to Palestinians.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A lot of you have been asking about U.S. dates for The Free Palestine benefit tour and I wanted to give you an update,&#8221; he wrote in part. &#8220;From the beginning, our plan was to bring this tour home to the U.S. But after weeks of reaching out, nine major American arenas have turned us down.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Macklemore listed the U.S. arenas that he contacted, which were Madison Square Garden, Barclays Center, and UBS Arena in New York; Prudential Center in New Jersey; Intuit Dome, Kia Forum, and Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles; Chase Center in San Francisco; and Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Grammy-winning rhymer, he reached out weeks ago and claims they gave him available dates. &#8220;But once they found out these were my benefit shows for Palestine, those dates were suddenly off the table,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;The doors were closed. The conversations were all different, but the result was the same. The shows were not going to be allowed to happen in these venues.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In over twenty years of touring, I&#8217;ve never experienced anything like this,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Macklemore views this as an act of intimidation and manipulation to silence entertainers. &#8220;But at this point, I&#8217;m three years past giving two s**ts about maintaining any relationships, business or personal, with anyone that isn&#8217;t riding for a Free Palestine,&#8221; he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the setback, Macklemore vows to continue his Free Palestine Tour but in a different iteration.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The people have spoken. We want an end to the genocide and we want a Free Palestine,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;The arenas have made their decision. Now we&#8217;ll make ours. If they think the threat of never playing another arena in America will make me retreat into silence, they got me f**ked up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There will be more shows for Palestine. We&#8217;ll keep working with other artists and organizers, continuing where we left off in Europe,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;We&#8217;ll probably just take that s**t outside where it belonged in the first place.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There comes a point when the world changes, not because those in power give us permission, but because the people stop asking for it. We will build our own stages,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They may own the arenas. But they do not own the people who fill them. And they never will,&#8221; he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>In response to Macklemore&#8217;s claims, an MSG Entertainment spokesperson told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/macklemore-us-venues-free-palestine-tour-1235654083\/\" target=\"_blank\"><i>Rolling Stone<\/i>,<\/a> &#8220;We have some of the busiest venues in the world with extremely limited availability, and he&#8217;s not an arena-level act.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i>XXL<\/i> has reached out to reps for the other venues for comment.
