Macklemore was dropped as Neon City Festival’s headliner after his “F*** America” controversy. Macklemore was removed from the 2024 headliners area of the Neon City Festival Las Vegas due to “unforeseen circumstances” rather than the issue.
Whatever the cause, Macklemore must be hurting, particularly given he was named as a headliner days before singing anti-America lyrics at a pro-Palestine event.

You’ve undoubtedly seen the clip–his stage outburst had the audience cheering, but it also started an internet firestorm.
Macklemore responded on Instagram that he didn’t intend for the phrase to overshadow his strong support for Palestine, even if it lost him sponsorships and revenue.
