PICS: Ed Sheeran’s Phoenix Park set-up is almost ready and it looks incredible

He's playing it simple in the best possible way.

Ed Sheeran is set to kick off his three night sold-out stint in Dublin's Phoenix Park on Wednesday (16 May) with more than 150,000 people expected to turn out over the course of the week. Performing on 16, 18 and 19 May, Sheeran will end his record-breaking 2018 Irish Tour by signing off with a series of the largest shows the venue has seen in years. Prior to his arrival in the capital, JOE was given the chance to check out his set-up for the event. The "bespoke" stage offers a 180 degree view for Ed with no interference from any angle when he looks out onto the crowd. When he arrives on Wednesday to do a soundcheck, it will be the first time that he gets to see his Dublin set-up, although Aiken Promotions Production Manager Pearse Doherty confirmed that he is "totally hands on" when it comes to the design and arrangements. In tow, Ed has 40 trucks handling production and merchandise, while a staggering 400 people are currently on site ensuring that everything runs smoothly on every front as the venue opens at 5pm on each of the show days.
