It was the kind of mathematics wildly loved by all. Global music icon Ed Sheeran was at his best and delivered his absolute genius at the Manila leg of his “+-= ÷x Tour” a.k.a. “Mathematics Tour” at the mamoth SMDC Festival Grounds last Saturday, March 9.

Atop a revolving stage illuminated by larger-than-life LED screens shaped like guitar picks on either side, the one-night-only stop was a fantastic spectacle for the eyes–as seen on this spread–and ears, what with Sheeran hardly pausing for breath to sing his old chart-toppers like “The A-Team,” “Castle On The Hill,” “Perfect,” “Shape Of You,” and “Thinking Out Loud,” with his newest hits, “Eyes Closed,” “Boat” and “End of Youth.”
Of course, who can forget the goosebumps-raising moment when the viral British Singer asked Filipino hitmakers Ben&Ben to sing their chart-topping single, “Maybe the Night,” altogether?
What a night, indeed.
Meanwhile, Smart Communications, a major presenter of the highly anticipated concert, happily welcomed Prepaid and Postpaid subscribers who exchanged their points on the Smart App from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, to watch the show.
