Ed Sheeran sent fans into a frenzy with a surprise street performance in Sheffield on Saturday. 

The Shape Of You popstar, 34, got behind the decks in the centre of the city with DJ AG for one of his signature performances livestreamed on TikTok. 

Ed, wearing a long sleeve Corteiz T-shirt and a black leather jacket, arrived to much fanfare alongside London rapper JME before performing a mix of his biggest hits and a series of remixes. 

And the Ipswich-born singer’s performance didn’t disappoint, with Ed sending the northern crowd wild as he rapped: ‘When you want to see me, when you want to see me, I’m in Sheffield town this evening.’

He also shocked supporters with a remix of Gyptian’s 2010 song Hold You (Hold Yuh), before transitioning into one of his own much-loved songs hits I Don’t Care.

The shock set in Sheffield comes ahead of the release of Sheeran’s eighth studio album, Play, which is scheduled to drop on 12 September this year. 

Just last month, the Thinking Out Loud vocalist also surprised commuters in London with an impromptu gig outside King’s Cross station. 

Dressed in a vibrant pink T-shirt, Ed setup in-front of a large pink heart emblazoned with the тιтle of his new single, Azizam.

Fans were delighted as Ed played his acoustic guitar and belted out hit songs including Shape Of You, Perfect and Bad Habits. 

He also appeared in his home county of Suffolk earlier this month, bringing his guitar for a performance in an Ipswich pub. 

The performance came after the release of Old Phone, another single off the new album.

Ed shared clips of him singing on his Instagram, captioning the post: ‘Brought the Old Phone for a homecoming show in Ipswich today.

‘Thank you to @fishclawband for rocking it with me and for everyone who came down. Old Phone out now x.’

The singer is far from the first artist to shock fans with a street performance with DJ AG however.

The London-born DJ has welcomed a host of artists onto his platform including Skepta, JME, Craig David and most recently Jessie J, who sent fans wild with a performance of her hit song Price Tag.   

The female singer also performed hits such as Flashlight and her 2014 collaboration with American superstars Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj, Bang Bang.
