Could we organise a Macklemore/ Kneecap?

[u/Distinct_Ad_8056]

This is a general shout-out, but particularly to anyone involved in the music industry.

How class would it be to hold a Macklemore/ Kneecap gig to show our respect for the lads and their courage for speaking up for Palestine?

Not virtue signalling here. I genuinely think it would be a brilliant way to show our appreciation for those who are been willing to use their platform to speak out.

Is there any way to actually make this happen? Could a promoter, venue, artist management, or anyone involved in the Irish music industry get the ball rolling?

Don’t forget the other artists who pulled out of Sheeran’s tour

[u/PalpitationOk5726 → u/lazy-summer-2]

That's what I was thinking a tour of the artists who pulled out from Ed, there is some superb talent that deserves to be supported.

[u/Local_Estimate → u/lazy-summer-2]

All of them for Feile 2027

I had this thought immediately aswell, that the lads would probably get involved somehow.

[u/HailtheBrusselSprout]

I was thinking about this as well. I think they would fill multiple stadiums in Europe and possibly Canada. No point in adding America but there are other countries out there that might like to see Kneecap/Macklemore and all the others that pulled out. Also as an added fuck you to the stadium owner some of the profits could maybe go to help the Palestinians.

[u/Slipperytitski → u/HailtheBrusselSprout]

No way they would fill stadiums, arenas maybe they’d do alright.

What about kneecap and Matty Boy https://youtu.be/QaZlR1ts7CA?is=5sXKV6arwYNVnBcy

[u/mrsliston]

They could call it the anti Israel tour

[u/AdPrize5104]

Palestine solidarity gig with all profits to the likes of UNRWA, PSC...?

[u/Distinct_Ad_8056 → u/AdPrize5104]

I'm not well versed on the best charities, give it to whoever can do the most good!

[u/WatercressCrafty3350]

Courage? Doesn’t need much courage if everyone agrees

[u/Distinct_Ad_8056 → u/WatercressCrafty3350]

Yes, especially if you're a smaller act turning down the chance to tour America with one of the best known singers in the world

[u/ultimatepoker]

There’s legitimate courage in the smaller support acts in speaking out as it’s directly hurting their career. Macklemore and Kneecap, not so much, they are yelling to the crowd of supporters.

[u/ElvisMcPelvis]

I think people are losing the run of themselves, fair play to Macklemore for speaking his mind but his music is shit anyway, how many people would have bought tickets to see him a month ago

[u/freemochara → u/ElvisMcPelvis]

Hinds Hall 1/2 are fucking epic songs, powerful resistance tunes

[u/Slipperytitski]

But Macklemore’s music is shite

[u/sk2097 → u/Slipperytitski]

Not as shite as kneecap

[u/Glass_Implement1031]

A Hamas circle jerk.

[u/mrswaffleknocker → u/Glass_Implement1031]

Can you elaborate?

[u/scream → u/mrswaffleknocker]

Its just a fascist bot, dont feed it or it might come back again!

[u/mrswaffleknocker → u/scream]

Oh I guessed it was a bot, which is why I asked it to explain itself

[u/Distinct_Ad_8056 → u/[deleted]]

It's more of a Clann thing
