Ed Sheeran 10 Year Anniversary Show @ Barclays Center
Music, Concerts
620 Atlantic Ave, Fort Greene
Wednesday, May 22 @ 7pm
Ed Sheeran is commemorating the 10th anniversary of his sophomore album, “x,” with a special one-night-only concert at Barclays Center on Wednesday. Since its release in 2014, the album has surpassed 22 million global sales and has garnered Sheeran two Grammys for his single “Thinking Out Loud.”
The singer is also expected to release a special 10th-anniversary album on June 21, featuring nine bonus tracks in addition to the album’s original 12 tracks, including “I See Fire” from “The Hobbit” movie and “All of the Stars” from “The Fault in Our Stars.”
“As the title implies, ‘x’ (pronounced ‘multiply’), Sheeran’s highly anticipated follow-up, ups the ante from his debut. He sinks even deeper into feelings of love, jealousy and inebriation while trying to navigate pop superstardom — a problem this album is sure to only amplify.” – Jason Lipshutz, Billboard
“He is stunningly prolific. He writes three songs a day, five days a week—a song in the morning, a song in the afternoon, and one more before knocking out at night.” – Lauren Larson, GQ
