Ed showed us all that he considers himself more in line with those stadium owners then the rest of us though, so fuck him
Yes but I think you missed the “too” as in people need to be mad at both Ed and Kraft, most of the post I’ve seen mostly talk about ed.
We’re already mad at Kraft. We’re mad at the billionaire class in general. Kraft’s behavior is not novel. Ed’s is. That’s why his actions are getting more attention. We didn’t know Ed would side with the enemy till now.
A multi millionaire siding with more money is surprising?
After spending years cultivating his “regular guy” facade and doing shows in support of Ukraine, yes
Or possibly he’s on the side of people who spent a lot of money to see him in concert
Yes. We know he is on the side of money.

Either way, he’s not on the side of the people being genocided in Gaza, so, I’ll repeat, fuck him
Cancel and refund the tickets, can you imagine the media coverage he’d be getting instead if he had just done that to the affected shows, and then found smaller venues that welcome them?
Look, I’m all for being on the right side, but Ed is the one who spent tens of millions on prepaid semi trucks, stage gear, countless personnel to move and run a huge production to every venue on the tour, experts to design the show. He can’t just “cancel” those things. Money is spent. People are hired. Contracts were signed.
Robert Kraft is a bad guy here; cut Ed a LITTLE slack for not being in a legal/financial position to cancel like the others are.
When venues start controlling what artists can perform, the industry is fucked. It’s like demonetizing “controversial” YouTube videos, but IRL in a music venue.
If I was on my tour and this happened, I wouldn’t know what the hell to do. What he needs to do is hire a crisis manager.
Nah. He’s a weasley little punk. Fuck him.
Oh no it took the small venue two nights per night to get all the original ticket sales in I bet the artist is heartbroken.
Said no one, ever
I think you’re underestimating how easy it is to cancel and book venues, deal with fans that bought tickets, etc.
Man of the people!
People like Kraft etc.
Ed is the one who spent tens of millions pre-paying semi trucks, Staff, Equipment, consultants on stage design, Travel and lodging and logistics. He apparently fronts the money for his own tours. People are hired, contracts are signed, things are scheduled and paid for. I don’t envy Ed. He’s not in the financial or legal position to simply cancel like the others are.
Robert Kraft is the bad guy here. Changing the rules on what musicians can play and can’t play. Art versus censorship is a tale as old as time. The industry needs to fight back, the fans need to stand up, but I don’t think we should take it all out on Ed here. I got the vibe he wants to be on the right side, but he’s too deep right now and counting on the tour dates to cover his expenses.
Again no. He is a shithead. He can get fucked.
