'I forgot how mental an Irish crowd could be' - Ed Sheeran kicks off world tour at Croke Park

It felt like normality had finally returned to the capital, and looking around at the crowd, it was hard to imagine an artist who would have been more excited to bring the music back

Ed Sheeran performing at Croke Park Stadium Dublin this evening as he kicks off his much-anticipated Mathematics tour across the country.

It’s been four years since Ed Sheeran last took the stage in the Emerald Isle and no one, it seems, was more excited for the Mathematics Tour than the star himself.

“I haven’t done this in such a long time. I’m going to keep saying this but I am so happy to be here,” Sheeran told a packed crowd at Croke Park on Saturday night.
