Ed Sheeran in Cardiff review: Singer brings live music back to Principality Stadium with bumper two-hour set

It may have been more than two years since Cardiff's Principality Stadium played host to live music, but Ed Sheeran certainly made up for lost time as he kicked off his three-night run in the Welsh capital. Four years after the chart-topping star last graced the city in 2018, the atmosphere in Cardiff on Thursday, May 26 was electric in anticipation as live music returned to the city's biggest stage.

And the Shape Of You superstar didn't disappoint as he started his Welsh leg of his 'Mathematics' tour. With a mix of old classics, as well as some of the newer tunes, the audience left the stadium with more than their fair share of the 'busker boy done good'.

With anticipation bubbling from Westgate Street into the stadium, the atmosphere was eagerly eaten up by support acts Dylan and Maisie Peters - both signed to the headline act's label - as fans continued to arrive for the main event. Maisie has garnered an army of fans in her own right after recently shooting to success on TikTok.
