Ed Sheeran 'LOOP Tour': Pop star likely to scrap two concerts at Robert Kraft's NFL Stadium, fresh speculations emerge amid Macklemore’s ‘free Palestine’ row

Pop star Ed Sheeran is likely to cancel his two concerts at Robert Kraft's NFL stadium, also known as the Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, as the stage construction is not completed due to brewing stormy weather conditions, as reported by TMZ. The latest speculations around the scrapping of his two shows, slated for September 25 and 26, 2026, as part of his ‘LOOP tour,’ come amid the ongoing controversy following the firing of Macklemore over “free Palestine" remarks.

Macklemore made these remarks while performing as the opening act for Ed Sheeran's "Loop Tour" during two concerts at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on September 4 and 5, 2026. Following his comments, he found himself in the crosshairs with Robert Kraft, the owner of the Gillette stadium, as Kraft reportedly pushed Ed to remove Macklemore from the tour as he seemed to have ignored warnings to refrain from such remarks on the second night.
