Why it matters
It underscores the ongoing tension between high-profile celebrity political activism and the corporate interests of stadium owners and tour organizers.
Zach Bryan has returned to Robert Kraft's Gillette Stadium after causing a stir with his first show, where he wore a "Free Palestine" shirt ... and night 2 was no different.
Hitting the stage Saturday night ... the "Revival" singer once again donned the shirt.
We reported earlier ... Zach and his whole band performed wearing pro-Palestinian shirts and jerseys on Friday night.
Zach's message -- especially considering the fact that Kraft was influential in ousting rapper Macklemore from Ed Sheeran's tour after making pro-Palestinian remarks -- was seemingly delivered loud and clear 2 nights in a row at the stadium in Foxborough, MA.
