Week 2 Semester 5 - DIVIDE TOUR!!!

So, the week was EXTRAORDINARY because it felt like I've been back in Melbourne since forever, when it's only been a week since I landed,

but also because Ed Sheeran was in Melbourne and...
I GOT TO GO TO HIS CONCERT!!

^^
What a dream come true!

Okay, now, it's not like I went all out and got the best of the best seat, where I can see his face & the center stage. My seat was quite high up in the huge stadium, but still it was an awesome experience.

*breathe in, breathe out*

So, the concert was on Sunday, 11 March 2018 in Etihad Stadium.

The opening act (that I saw) was Missy Higgins at 7:30pm.
She reminds me of Mandy Moore/Sara Bareilles  combined into 1 person :p
What a voice & love her music!!
(Fave song: Futon couch.Genius!)

Then at 8:45pm, the lights dimmed.
The screen showed Ed walking from behind the stage, received his guitar, and walked on stage. Immediately, as he started strumming, the crowd roared.

And what impressed me most was that, I was so far away from Ed himself, yet the crowd was so engaged in him & the magic he was doing on stage. People were dancing, singing, lighting up their phones, recording for safe-keeping.

Ah. There was a boy who sat next to me, with his dad or grandad or something like that. He was prob around 10yo, but he enjoyed Ed Sheeran's music so much! Even though Ed's songs are 'love songs', it's still music, and music touches everyone, hey?


The set list for that night was:

1. Castle on the Hill
2. Eraser
3. A Team
4. Don't / New Man
5. Dive
6. Bloodstream
7. Happier
8. I'm A Mess
9. Supermarket Flowers
10. Galway Girl
11. Feeling Good / I See Fire
12. Photograph
13. Perfect
14. Nancy Mulligan
15. Thinking Out Loud
16. Sing
17. Shape of You
18. You Need Me, I Don't Need You

I can't even talk about the merch. It's like they are tempting you with stuff you don't really need but looks SO good & cool. Like that souvenir book. :'))

And the graphic of his stage was 'lit'. I loveee how it's so Ed. Energetic, sweet, cool. Just, amazing.

But anyway,
I'm so thankful for the opportunity to watch his concert live.
I hope I'll get LOADS more of Ed ! :p

The weather's still okay..
Bruno Mars (with Dua Lipa) & Ed Sheeran were in town  and all of their shows went well...

Melbourne, you're not too shabby :)


Cheers!
