I feel like their names should be said.
They are not large bands who make millions and deserve your support!
Ed Sheeran stands to gain most from this from the free publicity.
Lukas Graham is pretty big. And Finneas is Billie Eilish’s brother and producer. He makes a ton of money.
The other two though are absolutely standing on business and taking a hit.
Fair enough, I didn't know any of them before but it's not really my style of music. I still feel like they are nowhere near as popular as Sheeran.
Beoga actually sound quite nice classic irish folk music!
Well I guess Lukas Graham only had the one big album a while back. So good on them too for standing up.
You are right that none of them are as big as Ed Sheeran though.
Yesterday, Ed Sheeran said he couldn't cancel tge tour because it would screw over his other amazing supporting acts. Today, headline went like
~~Three~~ ~~Four~~ All supporting acts quit.
I choose to use my fame and platform to be a place of safety and sanctuary, to maintain diplomacy and keep conversations open, not closed.
- Sheeran in defense of a few billionaire's right to close conversations they don't like
I choose to use my fame and platform to be a place of safety and sanctuary
Unless you're a Palestinian child. Fuck those kids.
I read his statement as:
I choose to use my fame and platform to shield myself and avoid uncomfortable conversations that might result in the alienation of some of my fans.
he was at krafits wedding, he performed there.
As I understand it, all the supporting acts are out now, including his own touring band.
The touring band part illustrates his complete cowardly failure pretty well.
Yep it seems that way. Feels like a big deal. Great to see all these acts taking a stand despite the lost revenue.
Fuck pink. Fuck ed. Fuck Israel. Fuck Robert Kraft. Free Palestine!
Need a site to note genocidal zionists.
I hope people start demanding refunds. Teach the daywalker that actions (or lack thereof) have consequences.
See Ed this is what you could have done called the bluff you are not powerless.
Genocide Ed there is worth an estimated $400M USD. I can't imagine having that much money and thinking "can't cause a ruckus and lose my income." Fucking coward.
You’re forgetting the other, equally likely option: he personally likes the genocide.
Haven't cared about his music, but didn't know he was this out of touch...
How I felt too. Found a few new bands to add to my library though. Fuck sheeran
he did perform at Kraft's weddings, hes trying to not bite the hand that feeds him.
Maybe Pink can fill in. As long as there aren't any Palestinians or anti-Zionists in the audience. Otherwise she might feel uncomfortable.
We must make the world a safe place for milennial wine moms
Robert Kraft is ultra zionist pro genocide Trump donor, btw. Owns the tour, afaik, or at least some of the arenas.
Pink, kid rock, and Metallica need money. You can tour with them
The promoter really said, “we support genocide in this house,”
and all the supporting acts responded, “we don’t take blood money! Bye Ed.”
All of this could have been avoided if Ed Sheeran had the balls to quit Ed Sheeran's tour.
Oh gee, won't you think of the poor workers who wouldn't be able to do setup and tear down for his tour if he took a stand against genocide. It's awful really, just awful.
