Ed Sheeran’s Mathematics Tour concluded its Indian leg with a resounding success in Gurugram, leaving thousands of fans with memories to cherish. From heartfelt ballads to energetic hits, Sheeran delivered a performance that resonated deeply with the diverse crowd, proving his enduring connection with Indian audiences. This final show was a fitting culmination of a six-city tour that saw Sheeran explore different corners of India, connecting with fans beyond just Mumbai, his usual tour stop.
The concert opened with a captivating performance by Indian singer-songwriter Lisa Mishra, who skillfully warmed up the crowd with a mix of her own tracks, including “Mujhe Tum Nazar Se,” “Kabira,” and “Sajna Ve,” and a smooth cover of Arijit Singh’s “Kabira”. Mishra’s performance was a perfect appetizer for the main course, setting the stage for Sheeran’s arrival.

Sheeran’s entrance was characteristically low-key, a stark contrast to the elaborate productions of many pop stars. Donning a “Delhi” T-shirt, he simply walked on stage with his guitar and loop pedal, ready to weave his musical magic. He expressed his excitement about performing in Delhi for the first time, sharing his desire to explore more of India beyond Mumbai, where he had previously focused his tours. He then launched into “Castle on the Hill,” immediately captivating the audience.
Sheeran’s mastery of the loop pedal was a highlight of the show. He demonstrated how he layers beats, harmonies, and guitar riffs in real-time, creating a rich, full sound that belied the fact that it was just him on stage. This unique approach, combined with his undeniable stage presence, created an intimate atmosphere in the large venue, making each audience member feel connected to the performance.
The setlist was a mix of classic Sheeran hits and newer favorites. From the sentimental “Thinking Out Loud” and “Photograph” to the energetic “You Need Me, I Don’t Need You” and “Shivers,” Sheeran catered to a wide range of musical tastes. He also included a mashup of “Take It Back,” Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition,” and Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine,” showcasing his versatility and musical influences.
One of the most memorable moments of the night was Sheeran’s performance of “Perfect.” The crowd sang along with such passion that it almost felt like a giant choir, amplifying the emotional impact of the song. He also shared anecdotes from his early career, including the story of how “The A Team” took six months to gain traction, reminding the audience that even successful artists face challenges.
Sheeran’s connection with the Indian audience went beyond the music. He recounted his exploration of Old Delhi, expressing his appreciation for the city’s rich culture and history. He even sported an Indian cricket team jersey during the latter part of the show, a gesture that was met with thunderous applause and cheers. This thoughtful touch cemented his connection with the crowd and highlighted his respect for Indian culture. Fans took to social media, suggesting Sheeran be granted Indian citizenship.
The grand finale was a high-energy performance of “Shape of You,” arguably Sheeran’s most recognizable hit. The crowd erupted in cheers, dancing and singing along to every word. It was a fitting end to a memorable night, a celebration of music and shared experience. Sheeran closed the show with “Bad Habits”, leaving the crowd wanting more. Before leaving the stage, Sheeran expressed his gratitude to the audience for their warm welcome and shared his hope to return to India soon. His words echoed the sentiments of the fans, who had clearly enjoyed every moment of his performance.
