Ed Sheeran
Empower Field At Mile High — Denver, CO

Ed Sheeran is a Suffolk-born singer-songwriter who became one of the biggest pop acts of the 2010s by basically refusing to do what pop stars usually do. He showed up with a loop pedal and acoustic guitar, built songs from the ground up in front of audiences, and somehow made that feel massive. His early EPs traded in folk-inflected storytelling—think Amy Winehouse covers and bedroom recordings—before x and Divide turned him into a stadium fixture. Shape of You became inescapable. Thinking Out Loud made weddings unbearable in the best way. He's never really stopped being that guy who cares more about songwriting craft than image, even when he was dating celebrities and winning Grammys. His later work leaned into dance and drill influences, which felt less natural but showed he wasn't interested in repeating himself. Love or hate his ubiquity, there's something genuinely uncynical about how he approaches music.

Ed's shows are weirdly intimate even in massive venues. He'll loop-build songs live and people go quiet to watch it happen. The crowd knows every word to everything. There's singing along but not moshing. Mostly just people standing there recognizing themselves in the songs.

Known for Shape of You, Thinking Out Loud, Perfect, Castle on the Hill, Shivers

Ed Sheeran's last Denver stop was August 2023 at Empower Field at Mile High, where he worked through a 24-song set that included deep cuts like Tides alongside his bigger moments. The guy's been a reliable draw in Colorado for years, managing to make stadium shows feel less impersonal than you'd expect.

Denver's music landscape has warmed considerably to singer-songwriters and pop acts over the past decade. The city's got an indie backbone but crowds here eat up accessible pop melodies and heartfelt lyrics. Sheeran fits somewhere in that middle ground—big enough for arenas, human enough for smaller venues. Denver's shown it can support both the stadium pop crowd and the coffee shop acoustic type.

Stay in Highland, where tree-lined streets and independent bookstores make it feel like you're actually in Denver rather than passing through. Eat at Frasca Food and Wine if you want to understand why Colorado takes its ingredients seriously—it's fine dining without pretense. Before the show, spend an afternoon at the Denver Art Museum's contemporary wing, which often has installations that match the visual language of experimental music. Walk around Santa Fe Drive's gallery district. It's the kind of neighborhood where the art and music scenes actually talk to each other.
