The hits keep coming for Macklemore … he’s just been axed as the headliner for Neon City Festival, hot on the heels of his “F*** America” drama.
The Neon City Festival in Vegas didn’t outright blame the controversy for Macklemore’s removal, instead chalking it up to “unforeseen circumstances” — and totally wiping him clean from the 2024 headliners section on their website.
Whatever the reason, it’s gotta sting for Macklemore, especially since he was just announced as a headliner … days before he sparked outrage by chanting his anti-America stance during a pro-Palestine show.

You’ve probably caught the clip by now — his stage rant got the crowd roaring with cheers — but it also set off a firestorm online.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
In response, Macklemore dropped an IG statement clarifying he didn’t mean for the comment to overshadow his strong support for Palestine, even if it costs him endorsements and business ties.
Macklemore’s been on a roll, calling out the U.S. government over the last few months, in particular about the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.
Back in the spring, Macklemore dropped “Hind’s Hall,” which goes after Joe Biden and other politicians for their support of Israel in the ongoing conflict. So, after his latest IG post, he’s definitely not backing down from his views!
