Ed Sheeran Performs in Philadelphia Amid Tour Changes
Ed Sheeran performed at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia during his Loop Tour following recent lineup changes.
Ed Sheeran took the stage at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Saturday night for a concert as part of his Loop Tour. During the performance, Sheeran gave a speech that lasted over three minutes. In his speech, he stated that the reason he removed the second stage from his show setup was that he was hesitant about standing in the middle of the crowd. The Loop Tour mostly consists of Sheeran performing by himself.
Despite mostly performing alone, Sheeran was joined during the Philadelphia show by a group of musicians led by violinist Alicia Enstrom. The ensemble accompanied him on several songs, including Galway Girl.
The tour has recently experienced several lineup changes involving supporting artists. Rapper Macklemore was removed from the tour roster following statements he made at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on September 5. In solidarity with Macklemore, the Irish folk band Beoga decided to withdraw from the tour. Other artists who withdrew from the tour include Danish band Lukas Graham, Irish singer Aaron Rowe, and Finneas.
