Ed Sheeran Cancels Las Vegas Show At The Last Minute Due To Technical Hitch

Ed Sheeran pulled out of a Las Vegas concert at the last minute after suffering technical problems while setting up for the show.

Sheeran was due to play Sin City’s Allegiant Stadium on Saturday, but scrapped the gig less than an hour before it was due to begin in the searing Nevada heat.

“I can’t believe I’m typing this but there’s been some challenges encountered during the load in (setting up) of our vegas show,” Ed wrote on his Instagram account. “It’s impossible to go forward with the show. I’m so sorry. I know everyone has travelled (sic) in for this and I wish I could change it. The gig will be postponed to Saturday October 28th and all purchased tickets will be valid for that date. I’m so, so sorry.”

Fans were left furious by the late postponement as many had already entered the venue, and some complained of “passing out” and “vomiting” in the heat.

One slammed Ed on Instagram by writing, “There was zero reason to force fans to sit outside in 102 degrees with no water, little shade and zero communication. Watched fans passing out and vomiting. Unacceptable. And then to have the venue overcharge for water is disgusting.”

The new date will now conclude Ed’s latest U.S. trek. He is due to release a new album, Autumn Variations, on 29 September. He will perform the new record live in full at London’s Royal Albert Hall in November.

Dave Grohl said he had lost count of the number of times Foo Fighters have toured Australia “10, 20, 100”. The answer is actually 13. Foo Fighters first toured Australia on the Summersault Festival in 1995. They were back in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2008, 2011, 2015, 2018 and for that one-off show in Geelong in 2022. The early tours were mainly club shows. The biggest they got in those first 10 years (outside festivals) was a Festival Hall show in Melbourne. The first arena show was in 2005 and for the past 10 years it has been stadiums.
