Macklemore announced that he will be launching a Free Palestine Tour, since his "schedule freed up" after being dropped by Ed Sheeran.
The Thrift Shop rapper took to Instagram on Thursday to share the three upcoming shows.
The tour will begin in Dublin on 26 October, move to Paris on 29 October, and conclude with a stop in London on 30 October.
"If these last couple of weeks have shown us anything, it's that something has shifted over the last three years," he said in the announcement.
"There has been a collective awakening around Palestinian liberation, the power of billionaires that try to censor that call, and what we expect from artists right now," he added.
The three-time Grammy winner explained that since his "schedule freed up a bit," he has been contacting "artists who have shown up and used their stages to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people, regardless of the consequences."
In a possible dig at Ed Sheeran, he said, "It's 2026. Being apolitical during a genocide doesn't work anymore."
He continued: "What happened to me is bigger than one artist or one stage. When the billionaire class can decide which voices are allowed on stage and which ones are too dangerous to hear, everyone should be paying attention."
Earlier this month, Sheeran and his team removed Macklemore as a supporting act from the Loop Tour due to "free Palestine" comments during two performances in New Jersey.
