Ed almost certainly had signed contracts with these venues. If they cancelled him they almost certainly would have had to pay him for lost revenue. They signed him knowing Macklemore was opening and held a moment about Palestine in every show for the last year. It would have been an easy court win but Ed didn't want that smoke for his next go round. Absolute punk move.

Turns out Ed is just a shit person because you can't just remain neutral about genocide.
