Before Ed Sheeran took the stage, the evening started off with an electrifying performance by Jonita Gandhi, the talented singer known for her captivating voice and versatile range. Jonita left the audience mesmerised with a stunning set that included some of her most beloved tracks such as ‘Deva Deva’, ‘What Jhumka?’, ‘Sitara’ and the crowd favourite ‘Chellama’.
Ed Sheeran took the stage donning a t-shirt that said ‘Chennai’ celebrating the city, the crowd erupted in cheers. Opening with ‘Castle on the Hill’, the atmosphere instantly ignited and fans couldn’t help but join in, singing along to every word
The highlight of the evening came when, in a surprising moment, Ed Sheeran called AR Rahman on stage as they collaborated to sing 'Shape of You' and 'Urvasi' that was an instant hit. They seamlessly merged Rahman’s ‘Urvashi Urvashi’ (Tamil version) with Sheeran’s ‘Shape of You’ and the crowd went wild, screaming and jumping in disbelief. Rahman, with a grin, turned to Ed and said, “Ed Sheeran, welcome to Chennai! Vannakam"
Hits like ‘Shivers’, ‘I’m a Mess, ‘Photograph’, and ‘Happier’ had the crowd buzzing, but it was the fan-favourite ‘Perfect’ that truly set the venue on fire when it began as fans belted out the lyrics louder than Ed himself.
The show closed with ‘Bad Habits’ where the night concluded on a high, with the crowd singing along to every word, creating a chorus that resonated long after the final note was a moment of pure joy, where fans and the artist alike shared in the magic of live music.
