Ed Sheeran is everywhere at the moment. By his estimations, Sunday night’s gig at the Royal Albert Hall was his sixth of the week, coming at the end of a short tour of intimate venues in London and Brighton to warm up for his summer stadium shows. On Tuesday, he’ll take part in the Concert For Ukraine fundraiser in Birmingham before two more warm-up gigs at the Alexandra Palace Theatre later in the week.
This ubiquity can be draining, but Sunday’s show, which came at the end of a week of Teenage Cancer Trust gigs at the grand old venue, featuring Yungblud, Liam Gallagher and more, saw Sheeran go pleasantly off script and dig into all corners of his discography during a light, loose and conversational show.
