Ed Sheeran Enlists the Fray’s Former Singer Isaac Slade to Open Atlanta Show
"We will find a way through this together," singer says as special guest for latest Loop Tour concert
Ed Sheeran transformed his Loop Tour stop in Atlanta by bringing Isaac Slade, a former member of The Fray, to perform as a surprise opener on October 3. At Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Slade played an abbreviated set of "How to Save a Life" and "You Found Me," addressing the conflict in Gaza and urging unity. Slade noted that while sides were taken in the world, finding common ground was essential.
Following Macklemore's removal from the U.S. leg due to venue concerns, other acts like Aaron Rowe, Finneas, and Lukas Graham also withdrew, leaving Sheeran to perform his Sept. 19 Philadelphia show solo, emphasizing love, hope, and unity amidst the turmoil.
