Ed Sheeran cancels two Massachusetts concerts due to severe weather
Ed Sheeran has canceled his Friday and Saturday shows at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, because of severe weather warnings.
Weather prompts cancellation decision
Tour promoter Messina Touring announced the cancellations after consulting with local officials. The group cited severe weather warnings across Boston and New England as the primary reason for stopping the events. Safety for fans, staff, and everyone involved remains the top priority according to the statement.
Tour controversy surrounds lineup
The tour faces ongoing headlines regarding the removal of opening act Macklemore from the bill. Stadium owner Robert Kraft objected to comments made by the rapper supporting the pro-Palestinian movement. Other acts including Finneas O'Connell and Lukas Graham have also left the Loop Tour.
