Beoga withdraws from Ed Sheeran Loop tour

Beoga has officially pulled out of Ed Sheeran's Loop tour, a move driven by solidarity with Palestine and Macklemore. The band states that playing in venues silencing advocates for a Free Palestine is simply not an option. They identify the real enemy as the Zionist lobby, claiming this group works tirelessly to silence artists speaking about a genocide due to fear of retribution. Beoga points to Robert Kraft's efforts against the BDS movement as context for the opposition they've faced. Confirming their presence at Macklemore's performance and speech at Met Life Stadium, they note full support for his message. Most of the audience there also supported the message, a fact Beoga says terrifies the lobbies.
