Ed Sheeran Warms Up The D at The Fillmore Detroit


I hadn’t heard of Ed Sheeran until I read he was opening for Snow Patrol on their current North American tour. Of course, I had to research to learn about him and hear some songs before the show in Detroit; and I found right away that Sheeran is awesome. 

SoundCloud has song clips to check out including “Drunk”, “Kiss Me” and more. This guy is even featured in a Victoria’s Secret commercial.

Ed Sheeran made the most of his time as opener showcasing his musical talents. What’s amazing is that he played for approximately 40 minutes, but only played four songs including, “Give Me Love”, “Wayfaring Stranger”, “The A-Team” and “You Need Me, I Don’t Need You.”

Mr. Sheeran had the crowd experience a fun set full of styles from acoustic opening song “Give Me Love” that included audience participation right off the bat to a sampling of beatboxing during “Wayfaring Stranger” with more hip-hop flavor dropped for “You Need Me, I Don’t Need You.”

Ed teased fans with a bit of “It’s So Cold In The D” by Tbaby before breaking into “You Need Me, I Don’t Need You” and sang more of it before leaving the stage.

But that wasn’t all. Sheeran coordinated a crowd battle – West Side Story style – by designating either side of the audience as the Sharks and the other as the Jets. Everyone won at this show though.

If you missed the show make sure you catch Ed the next time he’s in town. Great energy and fun from the Londoner shouldn’t be missed.
