Ed Sheeran did St. Patrick’s Day right this year, with the superstar performing at a pub in one of the most Irish cities in America: Boston.
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.
“Boston for Paddy’s day,” Sheeran wrote in his caption, tagging Irish folk band Beoga. “What a gaff.”
Earlier that night, the “Shape of You” singer had teased that he was planning a pop-up performance somewhere in Beantown. “Meet me in the pub tonight,” he’d written on his Instagram Story, showing off his Celtics gear and tagging his location in Boston.
He’d also paired the post with “Galway Girl,” about which he wrote, “It’s okay to admit you like this song today bruh.”
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. The surprise stop in Boston comes just after he visited Nashville, where he also held a pop-up show at a bar,nwearing a pink cowboy hat.
The English singer-songwriter hasn’t released an album since 2023’s Autumn Variations, which reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200. He’s currently on a break from his yearslong Mathematics Tour, which will resume late April in Qatar.
