Heading along? Jot these down…

It’s May so it’s officially Ed Sheeran Month on Irish shores as the flame-haired guitar-slinger gets set for a whopping nine headline shows across Cork, Belfast, Galway and Dublin.

There’s even a dedicated Sheeran-themed festival popping up in the west along the way.

With the full roster of support acts revealed and just days to go until it all kicks off at Páirc Uí Chaoimh, the all-important stage times for the whole tour have been revealed.

Though all times are subject to change, the Ed Sheerleaders account on Twitter has posted the official rundown:

8:45pm | Ed Sheeran

7:30pm | Anne Marie

6:30pm | Jamie Lawson

5:45pm | Beoga

And in dazzling picture form:

Aiken Promotions, meanwhile, has warned fans of the security procedures that will be in place at some of the venues, including identification checks and only to bring along bags under A4 size.

Fans who do not have the required ID will not be allowed entry into the venues and resold tickets will not be accepted.

The venue will be open at 5pm on show days but early queuing will not be permitted in the streets outside the venues as they’re residential areas. Ticket holders are asked to respect the privacy of residents and respect the local community.

Elsewhere, Bus Éireann will run extra services for those hitting up the three gigs at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.
