(If you don't know Finneas, he's probably the most famous one here. He's Billie Eilish's brother/ producer-writer; he's usually on stage w her and they're seen as a duo unit, but I think he's doing some more solo stuff now. Billie's also spoken in support of Palestine)

Ed Sheeran when his remaining acts, 2 of whom are Irish and the other 2 Gen Zers, don't stand for Zionist censorship: shocked-pikachu

Every time the Irish ones emphasise their Irishness it feels like a subtle fuck you to Sheeran claiming he's culturally Irish.

[–] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 30 points 4 days ago

Something tells me he'll be a bit quieter about that now, at least when not talking to English press.

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 93 points 5 days ago (16 children)

Well congratulations Ed

You decided to stand on the disgusting side of an ethnic cleansing in order to have an act and continue making money, and now you no longer have anyone else with which to make an act

Maybe you can perform 'Shape of You' or one of the other 25 songs you have that sound like it for 3 hours you dickhead

I feel like the end result is going to be a bunch of zionist hacks playing as his backing band and opening acts, though maybe this really has gone so badly that he needs to cancel.

he can always get kid rock

Or that "I just wanna kiss my fish" Toilet Paper USA halftime show guy

[–] robot_dog_with_gun@hexbear.net 26 points 4 days ago (2 children)

hope they do a show in occupied palestine and get blown up

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 18 points 4 days ago

Sheeran still has time to pivot to EDM

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago

Oh god, I would not look forward to the media coverage on that

[–] none@hexbear.net 27 points 4 days ago (1 children)

show gets shut down because the bass player is swatted onstage after Hind Rijab Foundation files complaint about her IG posts detailing own gleeful participation in IOF destruction of palestinian housing.

let's go

[–] Salah@hexbear.net 24 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I regret to inform you that most countries deliberately don’t act on the complaints filed by Hind Rajab Foundation.

I just realized it's called "The Loop" tour, and the headliner is now shown he's completely "out of the loop" with the present zeitgeist.

“Looper” but it’s Ed Sheeran shooting his career with that goofy futureshotgun

1,000 Palestinians killed since the supposed ceasefire.

Holy shit. I never want to hear Pissrealis complain about """terrorism.""" I didn't before. But 1,000+ people is terrorism itself.

[–] StalinsGiantSpoon@hexbear.net 66 points 4 days ago

and that 1,000 doesnt count all the people theyve vaporized so you know it's more.

[–] microfiche@hexbear.net 76 points 5 days ago

up the workers

you love to see it folks.

[–] StalinsGiantSpoon@hexbear.net 60 points 4 days ago

losing his own band is fuckin hilarious. they should be the backing stage band for Macklemore(i have no clue if he needs a band)

[–] SirSmoothAES@lemmygrad.ml 69 points 5 days ago (3 children)

This feels like a cultural shift

I didn't take this comment seriously at first but yeah it does. All it takes is for people to demand refunds and/or boycott the show to escalate the publicity to the next level. Edit: just saw it on CNN, so we're getting there fast.

People in the US have been getting there for a while now, the [mainstream pop] culture is being forced to catch up despite the Zionist ambitions of the capitalist class.

I think the poll i saw today was 65% support ending aid to Israel across the board. Gotta get those numbers up, but they kinda are going up. It is a class based issue that has shattered containment. Even under a "ceasefire" there have been 1000 killed, [CW] including the teenager hit while aiding someone in a double tap strike, in clear video.

The US establishment is getting weaker every day. It doesnt mean there will be a revolution here, but it certainly makes the global conditions more favorable to the left across the board. As always, the caveat is that the US needs to get through 2028 without going up the fascism ladder (yes there are more rungs).

Does get a toe in the door, though

It does, doesn’t it?

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 30 points 4 days ago

i guess mr Sheeran wanted....kelly Mackleless

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 23 points 4 days ago

I have to say, this is probably the best outcome. I'm not even sure if Ed Sheeran stood on principal it could have been better. Every move he made here only made the situation worse and the fallout have an even bigger reach. Like, I don't know that it would have been talked about in the same way at all.

Next we run back and get Jack Black. He got off too easy last time

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

what happened w jack black?

He basically did the same thing to his bandmate, Kyle Gass, when he joked on-stage saying "Don't miss Trump next time". Forced him to grovel and apologize to Trump.

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 32 points 5 days ago

Gonna get a shitty pissreal EDM band to back him and it's going to be nothing but live EDM remixes. The live album won't even go ceramic.

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 18 points 4 days ago

Fine, I forgive Lukas Graham for 7 Years. I saw their statement on this, and it was pretty cool.

[–] devilman60@thelemmy.club 10 points 4 days ago

That's the way ahuh ahuh

[–] BeanisBrain@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago (2 children)

The only thing I know about Lukas Graham is the song he did for the My Little Pony movie but I'm still very happy to hear he did this.

[–] InexplicableLunchFiend@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Lukas Graham is a band. The lead singer is named Lukas Forchhammer.
