It’s good news for Ed Sheeran fans today as the singer’s Cork concerts have been given an extra reassurance.
The Photograph singer is due to take the stage at Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork this May, but recent concerns over the lighting in the newly refurbished venue put the three sold out dates in jeopardy.
However, head of Aiken Promotions, who are organizing the gigs, Peter Aiken has today assured fans that the concerts WILL go ahead.
“Ed Sheeran is walking on stage, that’s it.,” Peter Aiken stated, according to the Irish Examiner.
Whatever it takes to get it right, it will be done.
“Temporary lighting goes into every venue, when we’re in Croke Park we put in temporary lighting. Whatever is required and we have to do, we will do it.
“Imagine the laughing stock Ireland would be around the world, and me, I’d be a bigger laughing stock. You’ve got the biggest star in the world.
“If it was Michael Jackson people would be more excited, but Michael Jackson wouldn’t sell that amount of tickets,” he added.
“We’ve 40,000 people going there over three nights — he’s starting his European tour here. It’s a big thing.
“There are people coming from everywhere. This is the biggest star in the world and we’re going to have it right for him on all aspects,” said Mr Aiken.
Thank god for that!
