Glasgow Ed Sheeran gig so loud 'weans are in bed' complaints pour in from across city

Thousands flocked to Hampden last night for the first of Ed Sheeran's two gigs in Glasgow on his huge Mathematics (+-=÷×) world tour.

The gig sparked travel chaos in the south side of the city, after many were left with little choice but to take the car after ScotRail warned concertgoers that there would be no trains heading back to Glasgow city centre after the show finished.

And it seems the gig caused a wee bit of bother for folk who never even attended the show too, given that it could be heard from as far away as Bishopbriggs - over six miles away.

People in their droves took to Twitter to share their surprise - and in many cases anger - at being able to hear the gig from their own homes - despite living nowhere near the stadium.

One tweeted: "I can hear the far-away bassline of Ed Sheeran at Hampden, a full six miles away. My god, everyone at the concert will be deaf if they've got the volume cranked that high."

Another wrote: "I'm in Bishopbriggs and just in from putting the bins out and could hear loud music. I'm like surely that's not the Ed Sheeran gig away over here, but it definitely was."

The were joined by a third who wrote: "Being able to hear Ed Sheeran playing at Hampden from Easterhouse is surely classed as torture?"

And another joker commented: "Glaziers in the Southside be onto a fortune this week, can hear every word of this Ed Sheeran encore from East End."

Some also took to Twitter to ask the 31-year-old singer to turn the noise down so that their kids could sleep.

One concerned parent tweeted: "Ed Sheeran can you please keep the noise down - well at least the base, the wains are in their beds".

While another, in response to Hampden tweeting about the 'packed' gig, wrote: "Aye the whole of Glasgow knows. Can hear it fae 7 miles away. Turn it down f*** sake. The weans are in bed."

Could you hear it from where you live last night? Let us know in the comments.
