Ed Sheeran toasts to Dublin crowd with well deserved pint of Guinness

The Perfect singer toasted to the Croke Park crowd who sang along with him on Saturday and Sunday night.

Around 160,000 fans saw him at the Dublin venue over the weekend and the chart topper dubbed the experience as ”probably one of my favourite shows I’ve ever played”.

“I’ll see you in Cork”.
