Ed Sheeran's Irish concerts: Spectacular stage, paperless tickets and strict restrictions

Ed Sheeran 'in the round' + - = ÷ x Tour

In advance of Ed Sheeran's upcoming appearances in Ireland, concert organisers, City Council and Gardaí met with local residents' groups and representatives in Cork this week to brief them on plans for the event. Details of the innovative stage set-up were revealed, and residents were also told about cordons, litter clean-ups and other issues relating to the two gigs on Thursday, April 28, and Friday, April 29. 

It's understood that work on building the stage at Páirc Uí Chaoimh will start at 8am on Monday, April 18 — a different stage is being used for the Croke Park gigs. And all the take-down work in Cork is expected to be completed by May 11.
