EsmeHOST
Okay.
MarcusHOST
Lucas Graham, I think.
EsmeHOST
Okay.
MarcusHOST
It's, or something like that.
EsmeHOST
And I'm sure other opportunities will arise for these folks in any case.
EsmeHOST
Yeah.
MarcusHOST
I don't know anything about Lucas Graham, honestly, so I can't really speak to their situation, but I think it's interesting for, for Bayoga and for Aaron Rowe.
MarcusHOST
I think their situation is a bit leaner
Steve DowlingHOST
Phineas said artists must not be silenced when they speak up for the oppressed.
Steve DowlingHOST
And Danish pop star Lucas Graham had the sharpest line saying, money doesn't give you the right to own the conversation.
Steve DowlingHOST
That brings us to the weekend when Sheeran took the stage in Philadelphia without an opening act or a backing band.
Ed SheeranSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This is not usually how I would open the show, but before I play some songs tonight, I hope it's okay if I say a few words about this last week.
MargaretHOST
Very quickly dropped out of the shows.
MargaretHOST
Lucas Graham, who I guess is a Danish pop band, pulled out.
MargaretHOST
Aaron Roe, an Irish singer-songwriter, stepped away.
MargaretHOST
And then the big one is, I think it's Beoga, how you say it, and this is like, this was, like, his band.
13 MINS LATER
MargaretHOST
So I might go listen to that, and you, [chuckles] maybe y'all should too.
BobbiHOST
Yes.
MargaretHOST
But those acts were Finneas, Lucas Graham, Aaron Rowe, and Bioga, people who, to be quite frank, aren't names that I, I know right off the bat, and probably can lose a lot by sticking up and doing the right thing.
MargaretHOST
I think that should be commended.
DanyellHOST
She also played all the artists who didn't open for Ed Sheeran.
DanyellHOST
So she played Lucas Graham's song, a Phineas song, and whoever else was playing.
DanyellHOST
It was like an Irish band.
DanyellHOST
She also played them too.
Joe SparrowHOST
Yeah
Stuart DredgeHOST
... uh, Lucas Graham, Aaron Roe, an Irish group, Bega, who were Ed Sheeran's backing band for the tour.
Joe SparrowHOST
Yeah, yeah.
Stuart DredgeHOST
So, and they all said basically artists should not be silenced when speaking up against oppression.
Dan WoodardHOST
Ahead of her headlining set, the pre-show audio exclusively featured music from artists who recently exited Ed Sheeran's stadium tour.
Dan WoodardHOST
The featured roster included Macklemore, Phineas, Lucas Graham, Aaron Rowe, and Irish group Bioga.
Dan WoodardHOST
Macklemore was removed from Sheeran's bill following onstage political statements during the tour's opening shows, prompting the remaining supporting acts and backing musics to step down from the tour in response.
Dan WoodardHOST
While Williams has not issued an official statement regarding the track's selection, the five artists comprised the entire pre-show soundtrack prior to her performance.
Jonathan TobinHOST
In response to this, some of the other warm-up acts for Sheeran have pulled out of the tour.
Jonathan TobinHOST
The American singer Phineas O'Connell, along with the singer-songwriters Aaron Rowe and Lucas Graham, and the traditional Irish group Bioga, all announced their withdrawals on social media.
Jonathan TobinHOST
Each cited their belief that Kraft's actions undermined free speech and their support for Palestine.
Jonathan TobinHOST
Roe said that, quote, as Irish people, we all know too well about genocide, forced famine, and violent occupation.
Brianna SmithCORRESPONDENT
Nicole Tedesco and many others are now looking to sell their tickets.
Nicole TedescoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I was looking forward to seeing like Malcolm Moore and Lucas Graham.
Brianna SmithCORRESPONDENT
This all comes after Macklemore made pro-Palestine remarks while opening for Ed Sheeran at MetLife Stadium.
Donald TrumpSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Free Palestine.
Will EvansNARRATOR
Where does genocide land in your definition, huh? The protest song sparked a protest of its own as concert promoters and venue owners, including billionaire Robert Kraft, barred Macklemore from performing at their stadiums.
Will EvansNARRATOR
This did not sit well with the other musicians on the marquee, including Aaron Rowe, Phineas, Lucas Graham, and Bioga, Sheeran's backing Irish band, on the tour.
Will EvansNARRATOR
They all quit this week and expressed solidarity with Macklemore.
Will EvansNARRATOR
As Phineas noted, artists must not be silenced when they speak up for the oppressed.
FergalAUDIENCE
And it's all the more shocking that Ed Sheeran seems to be getting it in the neck rather than the people who got him cancelled in the first place.
Sinéad MooneyHOST
Irish acts Aaron Rowe and Bioga and Irish-American solo artist Phineas and Denmark's Lucas Graham have left the tour in solidarity with Macklemore.
Sinéad MooneyHOST
And now, honorary Irishman Ed Sheeran is facing quite the backlash.
Sinéad MooneyHOST
Here's Lucy.
