Global superstar Ed Sheeran brought an end to his record-breaking + - = ÷ x Tour to Delhi-NCR after riveting performances in Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Bengaluru and Shillong. Produced and promoted by AEG Presents Asia and BookMyShow Live, the live entertainment experiential division of BookMyShow, this highly anticipated performance marked Ed Sheeran’s debut in Delhi-NCR.

With this, the 6-city India leg of ‘Ed Sheeran: + - = ÷ x Tour’, produced and promoted by BookMyShow Live, comes to a grand close. Tens of thousands of fans across the country witnessed the globally celebrated artist live in their cities, making it a landmark moment for India’s live entertainment landscape.

Fans in Delhi NCR were treated to an intimate and electrifying experience on 15the February 2025, with the concert turning into a monumental event. This performance was not just a concert, but an event that set the stage for an unforgettable journey across the country.

The evening kicked off with an electrifying performance by Lisa Mishra, the talented singer and songwriter, who captivated the audience with her soulful voice and genre-blending hits, including Mujhe Tum Nazar Se, Kabira, Sajna Ve and more. As she wrapped up her set, Lisa expressed her heartfelt gratitude to BookMyShow for organising such a spectacular event, seamlessly setting the stage for Ed Sheeran’s much-anticipated performance.

As the sun began to set, the anticipation in the air was palpable and the moment Ed Sheerantook the stage donning a t-shirt that said ‘Delhi’ celebrating the city, the crowd erupted in cheers. Ed looked out at the audience and said, “It's the last show of the tour—let’s go Delhi. I first came to India 10 years ago, played in Mumbai, then again last year. But this is my first time in Delhi and I’m so excited to finally see all the incredible places across India that I’ve never had the chance to experience before!"

Opening with Castle on the Hill, the atmosphere instantly ignited and fans couldn’t help but join in, singing along to every word. The evening was set ablaze with energy and it was clear that the concert would be more than just a typical performance—it was a shared experience.

Using a loop station, he taps into his creativity by recording short segments of music - beats, melodies and harmonies - which are then played back in a continuous loop. By layering these elements, he builds rich, dynamic compositions on the spot, crafting an immersive sonic experience that exists only in the moment before being wiped clean for the next performance.

Sheeran’sremarkable stage presence and connection with the audience grew stronger as the night unfolded in Delhi-NCR. Hits like Take It Back/Superstition/Ain't no Sunshine mashup, Shivers, I’m a Mess, Photograph,  Happier and Justin Bieber's Love Yourself,  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, creating an unforgettable moment of pure excitement.

As the evening neared its end, the encore was a true testament to Sheeran’sability to create an unforgettable live experience. Performing You Need Me, I Don’t Need You and Shape of You, 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.

As the performance drew to a close, Ed Sheeran expressed his heartfelt gratitude, saying, "The last three weeks in India have been magical. I've learned a lot. Thank you for welcoming me and hopefully I will come back soon!"

Last year, after creating a heartfelt Hindi cover of Ed Sheeran’s iconic song Perfect, the same 25 beneficiaries of BookAChange by BookMyShow Foundationwere offered the extraordinary chance to attend Ed Sheeran’s concert in Delhi-NCR, bringing their journey full circle.
