The outrage is that he promoted a LGBT inclusive campaign in Rainbow Laces and has been very vocal about the campaign yet has agreed to play in Saudi Arabia.

Everyone is blaming Tate or sport washing when the actual explanation is that consistent internet access is becoming increasingly common in the Muslim world and India, the average Algerian doesn't view Saudi Arabia as more immoral than the US and certainly doesn't care about strag rights.
Westerners can't comprehend that the only reason people pretend to respect Western values and morals is because they plundered the world's wealth, no one admires Western morals or sexual mores, if the West didn't have money then they would be spat in by anyone darker than office paper. Gulfies just want to be the cultural center of the Muslim world and from my understanding that's working, plenty of Muslims are starting to view Saudi Arabia as the great resistor against Queer Imperialism.
