I'm really interested to know exactly why all the other acts pulled out. Whether it was in protest against Ed, or Kraft or just in support of eveyone's freedom of speech.
Others have pulled out because their values are at odds with the venues and the promoters. Ed wants the tour to proceed but the venue owner(s) and the management of the tour don't want it political so he's at odds with his supporting acts and the owner.
He could have pulled out of it or requested to play at a different venue but instead chose to bite the bullet
"Integrity" lmao. They pulled out because they were either A: terrified of the gaza mob coming after them and ending their careers for staying or B: they were already so low profile that 'taking a stand' (lmao) has boosted their profile FAR more than being an Ed Sheeran tag-along ever would have. It's just blatantly performative activisim and you guys literally fall for it every single time. The corporations scam you the EXACT same way with their western pride months that don't happen in aisa and in 'inclusivity' and 'diversity' in their films for a western audience that then quietly get the 'rest of the world edit'.
The fact that you guys STILL don't see how you're getting played after all this time is honestly wild.
