Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour has lost three more supporting acts following the removal of Macklemore from the lineup.

Finneas, Lukas Graham and Irish backing band Beoga have all announced that they will no longer take part in the remaining tour dates, joining Aaron Rowe, who previously withdrew over the controversy surrounding Macklemore’s departure.

Finneas announced his decision Tuesday, September 15, shortly after Rowe became the first supporting act to leave voluntarily.

“Artists must not be silenced when they speak up for the oppressed,” Finneas wrote. “I have decided to withdraw from my upcoming tour dates with Ed Sheeran.”

The Oscar and Grammy winner added, “I stand with Palestine and its people.”

Lukas Graham also confirmed that he was leaving the tour, while making clear that his friendship with Sheeran had not changed.

“I love Ed, and I’m grateful for everything we’ve shared. That hasn’t changed,” Graham wrote. “But I can’t put these words out into the world and carry on with this tour as things stand. We’re withdrawing from the remaining dates.”

Beoga, which has performed a six-song mini set alongside Sheeran during the Loop Tour, also announced that it would not complete the trek.

The traditional Irish band cited what it described as “the silencing of Macklemore by zionist lobbies” as the reason for its decision.

“We are a traditional Irish band who never saw ourselves playing in stadiums of that size and that opportunity is not lost on us,” Beoga said in a statement, noting its decade-long friendship with Sheeran. “To play in venues that silence anyone advocating for Free Palestine is simply not an option for us.”

Graham had been part of the Loop Tour’s supporting lineup since August, while Finneas was scheduled to begin his opening dates in October. Rowe had been opening shows since February before announcing his departure.

“I cannot stand by and allow billionaires to use their position of power to silence the rightful voices of those who speak up against Israeli genocide and who highlight the savage murder of children,” Rowe said when he announced his decision.

With the four acts now gone, there are currently no opening acts remaining on Sheeran’s U.S. tour.

The controversy began earlier this month when Macklemore called for a “free Palestine” from the stage and performed his protest song Hind’s Hall. His comments led to calls for him to be removed from the tour, including a public call from P!nk. The Israeli-American Council also launched a petition seeking action.

On September 14, Messina Touring Group, the U.S. promoter for the Loop Tour, announced that Macklemore had been removed from the remaining support dates. The promoter said it had been informed by venues that they would not allow concerts to go ahead with Macklemore on the lineup.

Robert Kraft, whose Kraft Group owns Gillette Stadium, where Sheeran is scheduled to perform later in September, also confirmed that Macklemore would not perform at the venue.

Kraft said the decision was based on Macklemore’s recent actions, comments made during Sheeran’s New Jersey shows and what he described as a broader history of antisemitic rhetoric and imagery that he believed had been offensive and hurtful to the Jewish community.

Macklemore later shared his account of the situation, reaffirming his support for Palestinians while describing Sheeran as a “brother” and saying he disagreed with how the situation had been handled.

Sheeran then addressed the controversy himself, saying the decision to remove Macklemore was made by the promoter rather than by him.

“I respect Macklemore’s strength of purpose to stand up and shout for what he believes,” Sheeran wrote. “However, there is room for multiple approaches to the same end: peace.”

Sheeran added that he wants his platform to be “a place of safety and sanctuary” and said he hopes to maintain diplomacy and keep conversations open.

The departures now leave Sheeran’s remaining Loop Tour dates without a confirmed supporting act.
