🎸 A statement in Kraft's own house

Last month, Gillette Stadium owner Robert Kraft pushed rapper Macklemore off Ed Sheeran's tour after two "Free Palestine" outbursts from that same stage. The message to future acts was plain.

On Friday, country superstar Zach Bryan walked out wearing a "Free Palestine" shirt. Drummer Nate Head wore a jersey reading "Hind Rajab, 5" — honoring a five-year-old Gaza girl killed in January 2024 while trapped in a disabled car. The guitarist posed backstage directly in front of a Kraft Sports and Entertainment sign.

Bryan is a Navy vet with sold-out stadiums. Not the easiest artist to boycott. Macklemore was removed through official channels — Bryan just used the front door, per Variety.
