Ed Sheeran Loop Tour · Number of Dates Cancelled Betting Market

Sunday September 20, 2026 (11:05 am EDT)

A major controversy surrounding Ed Sheeran's 2026 Loop Tour, and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is right in the middle of it after the recording artist Macklemore, one of the opening acts, made strongly pro-Palestinian statements, said “Free Palestine,” and performed his protest song Hind's Hall during the tour's Meadowlands show.  This generated considerable backlash. Critics, including some Jewish and pro-Israel organizations, argued that Macklemore had crossed the line from advocating for Palestinians into rhetoric they considered antisemitic. Macklemore has strongly rejected the idea that criticism of Israel or support for Palestinians is antisemitic.  Robert Kraft, the owner of the New England Patriots and controls Gillette Stadium, who himself is Jewish, publicly acknowledged pushing for Macklemore's removal. Kraft said his objection wasn't to advocating for Palestinians but to what he characterized as Macklemore's history of antisemitic rhetoric.  Macklemore also stated that Kraft contacted other stadium owners to pressure the tour into keeping Macklemore from participating on the tour.  As a result, Kalshi began offering a betting market on Ed Sheeran Loop Tour · Number of Dates Cancelled with 80% of traders believing at least one tour will be cancelled and 50% believing at least two dates will be cancelled. 

This continues to be a super hot story and Sheeran's remarks on Saturday will likely help to fuel the controversy and build interest in this particular betting market.  Sheeran opened a concert September 19 with comments about Gaza after controversy swirled around his tour and supporting acts withdrew in solidarity with opener Macklemore, who was dropped after making pro-Palestinian comments onstage.Sheeran said he wants his music and shows to be about unity and humanity, not politics. But he said the attacks in Israel of Oct. 7, 2023, were horrific and what is happening in Gaza “catastrophic and unjustifiable.” “I don’t want to disappoint fans, and I’ve never wanted to be an activist musician, but this has put me in the middle of an important and passionate argument about freedom of speech and the most complex political issue on the planet,” Sheeran said during his performance at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
