AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoEntertainment & Culture: Ed Sheeran says he didn’t personally boot Macklemore from his U.S. Loop Tour—he blames the promoter and venue owners after Macklemore’s pro-Palestinian “Free Palestine” remarks during Sept. 4-5 shows at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Tour Fallout: In solidarity, four supporting acts—Aaron Rowe, Beoga, Lukas Graham and Finneas—quit the remaining dates, leaving the tour with no openers. Local Spotlight: The controversy traces back to Kraft Group involvement, with Sheeran saying he tried to “build a bridge” but venues threatened to pull shows if Macklemore stayed. Elections & Courts: Separately, Nevada AG Aaron Ford and a coalition won at the U.S. Supreme Court, blocking a USPS rule that would have required federal approval for new ballot and return-envelope designs ahead of the Nov. 3 midterms. Business/Ports: Delaware and the Port of Wilmington operator Enstructure broke ground on a new container terminal, a $669M project aimed at expanding capacity and jobs, with an early-2029 opening target.
