Video: Ed Sheeran wows fans at Dubai concert

The Shape of You singer performed at the Autism Rocks Arena, in front of more than 23,000 fans

Singing sensation Ed Sheeran wowed his fans with an energetic performance at his sold-out Dubai concert yesterday.

The 'Shape of You' singer performed at the Autism Rocks Arena, in front of more than 23,000 fans.

He opened his performance with his 'Castle on the Hill' song from his latest album Divide, followed by a tune from his older album.

The crowd at the concert, organized by 117 Live, were loud and cheerful throughout the concert, as Sheeran performed in his signature style - sporting a casual checkered shirt, playing his guitar solo on stage and no gimmicks at all (such as smoke machines, fire shows or confetti falling down).

Going back and forth from songs from his older and newer album, Sheeran also sang his other hits, such as Photograph, Sing and I See Fire.

Dubai's weather also seemed to be on Sheeran's side, as temperatures remained a cool 24 degrees Celsius, with light winds.

When the singer sang 'Thinking Out Loud', it even rained.

He closed the show with his hit songs 'Shape of You', followed by 'You Need Me, I Don't Need You' - leaving fans mesmerized.
