Who’s Warming Up the Crowd for Ed Sheeran in Chicago?
So, you’ve got tickets to see Ed Sheeran in Chicago. Lucky duck! But let’s be real, we all know the main event is Ed, right? I mean, the guy can make a tea cosy sound like a symphony. But who's got the unenviable task of warming up the crowd for that act?
The Undercard: A Tough Gig
Opening for Ed Sheeran is like being the comedian who follows Jerry Seinfeld. You’ve got to be really good to leave a lasting impression before the main act comes on. It’s a tall order, but someone’s gotta do it.
Spoiler alert: If you’re hoping for a surprise guest like Taylor Swift or Beyoncé, let’s just say you might be disappointed. While those kinds of pop culture explosions would be amazing, they’re about as likely as finding a four-leaf clover in your salad.
The Actual Openers: Khalid and Cat Burns
Okay, so who actually is opening for Ed in the Windy City? Well, you’ve got Khalid, the R&B crooner with a voice smoother than hot chocolate, and Cat Burns, the rising star with a knack for soulful ballads. Not too shabby, right?
Khalid is like that friend who always knows the perfect song to play at a party. He’s got that laid-back vibe that will get everyone swaying. And Cat Burns? She’s the one who can make you feel all the feels with her raw emotion.
So, while Ed Sheeran is undoubtedly the headliner, these two acts are definitely worth checking out. Just don’t be surprised if you find yourself singing along to their songs more than you planned.
