About this episode
Ed Sheeran BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Ed Sheeran has truly stolen headlines and charmed music lovers in recent days, combining the spontaneity fans adore with the high-profile moves that shape his legacy. Just last night, Sheeran stunned revelers at the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann in Wexford, Ireland, with a surprise performance inside the Sky and The Ground pub. According to RTÉ, not only did he play hits like Castle On The Hill to a packed and vocal crowd, he joined Irish acts such as Amble, BIIRD, Beoga, and Aaron Rowe for renditions of classic Irish tunes, including a moving version of Wild Mountain Thyme with the all-female supergroup BIIRD. The connection is deeply personal: Sheeran, who recently identified more strongly with his Irish heritage, played an acoustic version of Perfect outside for those left standing in the streets, making sure nobody felt left out. The spectacle, widely shared on Instagram and across Irish media, immediately became the stuff of local legend and a viral social media moment, giving a major boost to the Fleadh Cheoil, which is already drawing an estimated 750,000 visitors.

Sheeran’s European Mathematics Tour powers on, and anticipation is mounting in Antwerp, as an extra show was just added to meet sky-high demand, as confirmed via his official ticket partners and Instagram. The Belgian gigs on August 7 and 8 will feature Myles Smith and Tori Kelly as special guests and are billed as immersive 360-degree experiences, making each night a guaranteed event.

On the music front, Sheeran is feeding the hype for his forthcoming album Play, due out in September, by reuniting with Harry Potter’s Rupert Grint for the quirky new video to his track A Little More. According to coverage from Sunny 94.3 and his own social media, Grint’s return as the loveable lookalike superfan is a nostalgic nod to their iconic Lego House collaboration and has already set fans buzzing about the record itself.

Social media-wise, Sheeran marked his official return to Instagram after a lengthy personal hiatus, promising more candid updates and hinting at a creative upswing after a self-described turbulent period. Outlets like AOL note that Sheeran credits his absence to personal struggles but now signals a new, more open chapter.

There’s no credible speculation about any controversies or significant business deals in the last few days, and all eyes remain on the tour, the imminent album, and Sheeran’s ongoing knack for delivering moments fans will be talking about years from now.
