Ed Sheeran brought both solid songs and plenty of spectacle to his Saturday night (June 20) headlining show at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium. Spearheading his Loop Tour, the solo stadium show featured Sheeran building each song live using a loop pedal, highlighting both Sheeran’s energetic, entertaining showmanship and musical precision. A folk-pop star known for writing his own material, the approach also allowed him to give fans a glimpse into the process of how he constructs his slate of hits.
Instead of launching the show from the main stage, he walked through the crowd, shaking hands with audience members before holding court at a smaller b-stage in the middle of the stadium. He launched into “You Need Me, I Don’t Need You” and “Sapphire.” Though he was commandeering the show solo, the set also offered plenty of visual extravaganza. By the second song, he had fireworks brushing the sky in shades of pink and dark blue, while fiery pyros were utilized throughout the evening. A retractable bridge that stretched over the audience allowed Sheeran to move back and forth from the main stage to the smaller b-stage multiple times throughout the show.
