The following night will see Busted and Dylan support, before James Blunt and Maisie Peters take over on the final evening. In a recent Instagram post, Sheeran said that Blunt inspired his career in music, as he wrote: "One of the first ever concerts I went to as a kid was at Ipswich Town Portman Road to see Elton John. James Blunt opened for him, and I got so obsessed with James's music, it really shaped me as a singer songwriter from then on.
"This really is a true homecoming, and is three nights only. It’ll be such a special weekend of shows, with a killer line up (shout-out @jamesblunt for coming back and completing the circle)."
