It was “individual venues” but it’s a safe assumption it’s Live Nation, because they own most large venues. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_Nation_Entertainment And again, it’s not Ed decision anyways: After discussions with stakeholders, Macklemore will not be performing on the remaining support dates.” Very few artists (certainly not this one) can pay up front for a US stadium tour. They have financial backers who then have final say, even if they initially let artists make decisions. You’re right to be mad, but it’s completely unproductive when you’re not mad at the right people. At least be mad at the people who actually the problem and Ed Sheeran. Instead of mad at Ed Sheeran instead of the right people.
