Ed Sheeran delivered what was described by the Malta Tourism Authority as an unforgettable performance at Ta’ Qali, marking Malta’s largest-ever paid concert.

The British icon began the concert in a black T-shirt with ‘Malta’ in multicoloured letters and later donned the Malta national football shirt.

Sheeran opened with high energy, singing "Castle on the Hill," and kept the crowd engaged with anthems like "Give Me Love." Between songs, he shared stories from his career, recalling his early days in English pubs to his global success.

A standout moment came when Sheeran asked the audience to hold up their phones for "A-Team," revealing he once thought it would be a one-hit wonder.

He involved the crowd in many songs, performed classics like "Lego House," and featured violinist Alicia Enstrom on "Galway Girl."

In a touching segment, Sheeran spoke about the death of his best friend in 2022, which inspired his song "Eyes Closed."

Highlights included a medley of "River," "Beautiful People," and "I Don’t Care," and the crowd favorite "Thinking Out Loud," introduced as “the song your grandmother knows.” The concert concluded with gentle hits like "Happier," "Photograph," "Perfect," and "Afterglow."
