Without missing a cue. And with the most spectacular breath control. He played the guitar like it was part of his being and his vocals soared out into the vast ...

He played the guitar like it was part of his being and his vocals soared out into the vast sky above. Sheeran also spoke about 'Perfect', the song he said has impacted the most people out of all his songs. It's clear Sheeran is a conduit, as he channels those ear-worm melodies and heartfelt lyrics. Literally opening with a bang from the pyrotechnics, Sheeran began the show the same way he ended it – with a relentless energy that sided more with rock than pop. Ed ran round the circumference of his circular stage the entire show, effortlessly. And his fans hopelessly and ecstatically devoted.

Live Review: Ed Sheeran Rocks Night 1 Of Australian Tour ... (theMusic)

Not even an hour after the gates to the promised land that was Suncorp Stadium had opened, chairs were laden with fans sporting all sorts of party paraphernalia ...

Except that he is, in the way we all are, and that’s the magic of his music. There is the ugly pain and peace of grief wrapped up in the neat, beautiful bundle that is this song. Sheeran, who had been traipsing insistently across the stage, paused for a moment before grinning: “And if you don’t, it’s going to be a long five minutes.” In the first verse, Sheeran sang completely on his own out into the void with no other music, and the echo was so powerful it felt as if he were standing atop the ridges of Erebor and crying out deep into the valleys below. Bright lights that were barnacled onto the spiders’ legs stained the surrounding haze crimson and turned the air into the breath of a dragon. There’s a reason it was track #1 on the album and track #1 on the setlist, and that is the overwhelming feeling of hope that punctures your gut when you hear it. The following two songs, Castle On The Hill and a mash of Don’t and Blackstreet’s No Diggity, only perpetuated the stadium disco. If anyone in the crowd had lost someone – and everyone has, in their life, lost something – this song’s message is simple. And thus, the rotating stage made its debut and continued to glide him around the platform even as a fan-favourite track from + (2011), The A Team, began to play. Not even an hour after the gates to the promised land that was Suncorp Stadium had opened, chairs were laden with fans sporting all sorts of party paraphernalia: cone hats, homemade posters, and even a plastic kazoo or two. Strumming the high-flying opening riff of Tides, the first track from his 2021 album =, the stadium came alive and launched into an immediate, hearty rendition of the anthemic record. Two-time ARIA award-winning artist, the 20-year-old Budjerah took to the stage with an eclectic collection of R&B soul and pop melodies that nestled comfortably behind the clear, rich timbre of his voice.
