Fans at the concert were also treated to a set by by another UK singer-songwriter and musician, Passenger.
Feedback on social media appears to indicate that it was a great show, with both Sheeran and Passenger’s sets met with compliments. Reports also seem to indicate that the concert was well organised and a success in terms of safety and security.

For anyone going to Ed Sheeran's concert tonight and worried about your safety (as I was), don't be. Security is very tight in and outside the stadium, even above 🚁😊Just stay in designated transport points afterwards and use official/known transport. #DivideTour
