Detroit, Michigan, recently witnessed a remarkable musical event that left fans buzzing. Ed Sheeran, during a podcast appearance, hailed Detroit as having the loudest crowd he has ever encountered, following a spectacular concert held at Ford Field on July 15, 2023.
During his guest spot on the podcast “Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce” on July 10, 2023, Sheeran was prompted to share insights about his favorite cities for live performances. He couldn’t help but highlight the electric atmosphere of his Detroit concert, where the audience’s enthusiasm reached unprecedented levels. Sheeran acknowledged that the sound generated from the crowd was “very, very loud,” a testament to the engagement and passion of the fans present that night.
Significantly contributing to this heightened energy was a surprise appearance by rap icon Eminem. Sheeran noted that bringing Eminem on stage was akin to using a “cheat code,” which significantly intensified the crowd’s reaction. During Eminem’s performance of his classic hit “Lose Yourself,” attendees created an overwhelming volume, to the point where it nearly drowned out the artist’s voice. The collaboration began with Sheeran performing a portion of “Lose Yourself” before Eminem emerged dramatically from beneath the stage, adding to the excitement.
Following their rendition of “Lose Yourself,” Sheeran and Eminem transitioned into a duet of the track “Stan,” where Sheeran took on the part originally sung by Dido. Eminem, acknowledging the spirited response from the audience, expressed his fondness for Detroit, declaring how much he had missed the city after their performance. This was not the first time the two artists shared the stage; they had previously performed “Stan” together during Eminem’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in 2022.
Sheeran later shared a video on social media highlighting the surprise collaboration with Eminem, capturing the exuberance of the event and the ecstatic reaction from the crowd. The concert left a lasting impression on attendees and Sheeran alike, who described his performance with Eminem as a memorable and unforgettable experience.
In addition to discussing his Detroit concert, Sheeran also took the opportunity during the podcast to share his admiration for Philadelphia, noting similarities in the pride exhibited by the residents of both cities. Furthermore, as a fan of the Tennessee Titans, Sheeran conveyed his hopes for the Detroit Lions, expressing a belief that the team is on the verge of greatness and could soon secure a Super Bowl victory.
Looking ahead, Ed Sheeran is preparing to release his eighth studio album titled “Play” on September 12, 2025. Pre-orders for the album are already available, generating anticipation among fans of the artist. His recent concert in Detroit, coupled with his forthcoming music project, showcases the vibrant state of his career and his commitment to delivering exceptional artistic experiences.
In conclusion, the combination of Ed Sheeran’s electrifying performance and Eminem’s surprise appearance galvanized the audience in Detroit, creating a night to remember and reinforcing the city’s reputation as a significant stop for live music.
