Grammy winner Macklemore will return to the live stage.
He was removed from Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour.
Now he has announced "Free Palestine," a series of concerts.
The proceeds will go to Palestinian aid organizations.
The shows begin with three dates in Europe next month.
The first is at Dublin's 3Arena on Oct. 26.
Then comes Paris' Accor Arena on Oct. 29 and London's OVO Arena Wembley on Oct. 30.
More artists and U.S. dates will be announced later.
An artist presale starts at 10 a.m. local time Monday at Macklemore.com.
Live Nation said the shows will benefit several groups.
These include Anera, Glia, Gaza Soup Kitchen, Taawon, HEAL Palestine and the Palestinian Youth Movement.
They also include the Middle East Children's Alliance, Jewish Voice for Peace and Medical Aid for Palestinians.
The list continues with the Institute for Middle East Understanding, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund and UNRWA USA.
On Instagram, Macklemore said a "collective awakening" around Palestinian liberation has taken place over the last three years.
He said everyone should pay attention when billionaires can decide which voices are allowed on stage.
Macklemore was dropped as an opener for Sheeran's North and South American tour.
This happened because of his onstage pro-Palestinian comments.
Sheeran said the promoter, not he, made that decision.
Macklemore said his removal was led by Robert Kraft, the billionaire owner of the New England Patriots.
Macklemore also said he would donate $1 million of his net tour earnings to six organizations helping Palestinians.
