Ed Sheeran's three-night run in Cardiff last week made headlines for a whole host of reasons. Kicking off the Welsh leg of his ‘+ - = ÷ x Tour’ (‘The Mathematics Tour’), the concert from May 26 to May 28 was the Bad Habits singer's first time back in the Welsh capital since 2018, and the first time the Principality Stadium has played host to live music in two years.
Scores of fans poured into city, with one group travelling 16 hours from Mexico - and it seems the effort was well worth it, as the concerts themselves have been hailed by fans as "amazing" and "worth every penny". Friday's sell-out show made Welsh history with over 75,000 concert-goers - making it the largest gig to have ever taken place in Wales, according to Wales Rugby Union, which manages The Principality Stadium.
Sheeran's songs are well-known for their romantic lyrics and it seems that night love was in the air, as not one, but two, people proposed to their partners. The first night of the concert on Thursday was also one to remember: in a beautiful gesture, the singer gifted his shirt to an 11-year-old girl who had been pushed into barriers.
