Fever pitch excitement for Ed Sheeran’s three-in-a-row

He’s on his way — and the weather and economic forecast is looking good.

Global superstar Ed Sheeran’s record-breaking nine- concert Irish tour which kicks off in Cork tomorrow could be worth a staggering €185m to the Irish economy.

The massive economic boost from his Cork, Galway, Belfast and Dublin gigs emerged yesterday as concert promoter Peter Aiken, of Aiken Promotions, confirmed that ticket sales have broken the 405,000 mark.
