A concert in Dublin featuring Macklemore and several guest artists was billed as a packed lineup. Irish rap group Kneecap and Irish singer‑songwriter Hozier were among the performers who joined the event. The show was presented as a strong response to a controversy surrounding Ed Sheeran. Numerous cameo appearances filled the stage throughout the evening. Despite the high‑profile roster, Macklemore did not take the stage until after ten o’clock at night. The late arrival became a talking point among the audience.
