This Ed Sheeran thing. When you're potless and standing outside Boots in the precinct, a shite guitar and casio drum machine is ok. When you're worth millions and headlining, you can do a bit better. IMHO natch.
They've certainly headlined the main stage in the past.

Cant agree....just showing how talented he is..
Look at his world tour which is all but sold out and thousands want to see him as he is.
He starts in the states in a few days and finishes In New Zealand March 2018..( sold out)
Why would you change who you are? Not a fan but enjoying the set tonight!
Good for him, he is definitely not crap, but this show at least is lacking something. Not sure what.
Why does the guitar keep playing when he stops strumming?
And good luck to him. Just doesn't work for me.

I went to the Southampton Guildhall gig of that tour, fantastic.

Most acts change, evolve, whatever. Dylan went electric. Nirvana went unplugged. I'd like to hear him in a different way.
If his singles came out like this, rather than beautifully mixed, would they have the same appeal?
Each to their own of course.
I think the background graphics have detracted from a lot of the acts this year. Just because the technology exists doesn't mean it should be used. Detracts from the music and the mood created by great stage lighting.
Isn't his whole thing when playing live to use pedals to loop the sounds? (I'm not watching it myself.)

My kids like Ed Sheeran, I'm not mad about him. Although I am nearly 50 so what do i know about possibly the biggest pop star on the planet.
But f**king hell playing the closing set at Glastonbury (the majority of it just him, a guitar and a rack of effects).... what an amazing thing to do at 26 years old.

My other half thinks Sheeran's music is great.
To me, it's so boring, just not my musical thing. Thankfully we have more than one TV!
I haven't watched everything, but to me The Killers and The Pretenders were great. I'll catch up on The Foo Fighters later in the week. Live, I guess I enjoy the stage presence and power of a talented/original band, getting the crowd going.

Not getting highbrow but many bands this weekend have not been my cup of tea by any means but you go 'fair play, that was class'.
Sheeran is poor.

He's outstanding, can't bear his music at all, but wow, he's seems to be nailing this.
