Ed Sheeran Plays Surprise St. Patrick’s Day Concert at a Boston Pub While Wearing a Celtics Shirt

Ed Sheeran played a surprise St. Patrick's Day show at a Boston pub. Watch a clip here.

In a video posted to Instagram Monday (March 17), Sheeran holds a surprise acoustic set at the city’s The Dubliner, which is packed with people and lined with green lights and Irish flags. Aptly wearing a Boston Celtics shirt, the four-time Grammy winner jams out with his fiddle player and other bandmates while singing “Galway Girl” — an ode to one of Ireland’s most beloved cities that appears on his 2017 album, Divide — as the crowd chants along. Sheeran performed several other songs Monday night, with Bostonian fans on the scene capturing him singing 2014’s “Don’t,” 2017’s “Nancy Mulligan,” a mashup of 2021’s “Bad Habits” and “Shivers” and more.
