During the concert, Bryan broke the venue\u2019s attendance record with 73,538 fans, though his shirt was not visible in official photos. Bryan\u2019s drummer, Nate Head, wore a jersey with \u201cPalestine\u201d and \u201cHind Rajab,\u201d a young Palestinian girl who was killed in Gaza after her family\u2019s car was attacked by Israeli forces. Bryan has previously engaged in politics, notably criticizing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem over a song about ICE. The article also details the controversy surrounding Macklemore\u2019s removal, including the NFL owners\u2019 pressure and subsequent solidarity actions from other artists. Additionally, there is mention of media coverage of Hind Rajab\u2019s death and related political debates.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Country singer Zach Bryan wore a \u201cFree Palestine\u201d shirt for a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2026\/music\/news\/zach-bryan-breaks-record-kraft-free-palestine-1236898609\/\">second night<\/a> while performing at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The move appeared as a blatant response to stadium owner Robert Kraft\u2019s role in having rapper Macklemore removed from Ed Sheeran\u2019s tour after the rapper made pro-Palestinian comments onstage at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<style>.explore-more-section { background: var(--wex-bg);
