Guitar Center Filters Non-Legitimate Submissions for Ed Sheeran Opener Contest
Guitar Center says some entries to its Open for Legends Ed Sheeran opener contest were not legitimate, with memes and non-musical videos appearing amid controversy over Macklemore’s removal from The Loop Tour; the company will discard ineligible submissions to keep the competition focused on genuine musicians, as some acts withdrew in solidarity and a winner is expected to open for Sheeran in Mexico City.
