Macklemore is the better act anyway. Most people probably would have cleared out after he finished

    I never saw Ed Sheeran but I saw Mac and can confirm he puts on a hell of a show.

    I never saw either.. But, I have a lot of interest seeing Macklemore.. I have NO interest seeing Ed Sheeran honestly.

    Macklemore probably "speaks" to more people too. I didn't like his music when I first heard it, but, it grew on me fast

    I saw him at the gorge around when he dropped Thrift Shop. I'd definitely see him again.

    I've never had the opportunity to see Ed Sheeran, largely because I've never sought out the opportunity to see Ed Sheeran.

    I wouldn't have thought their fan bases would overlap significantly.

    Sheeran sings the hook on a ton of rap/ hiphop songs and both are basically pop music artists.

    There is definitely an over lap between people who listen to Ed Sheeran and bump thrift shop.

    That's never stopped a concert gig before. Evanescence shouldn't have toured with Korn all the time, but they sure as shit did it successfully.

    They used to also have double features at the drive in movie theaters too, and they'd have some odd mashups. I remember watching the movie Big, and the Rambo 3. Place stayed full.

    i have never had any interest in seeing Ed Sheeran. Would be very interested in seeing Macklemore

    So, to me, its weird that Macklemore was only an opening act. I suspect many people could name more Macklemore songs than Ed Sheeran ones, and I definitely hear macklemore on the radio more (on all stations) here in Australia

    I didn't actually give rammstein a proper chance until recently. Was connected to a customers system and they were blasting rammstein, which came to my computer. Actually didn't mind it. Added it to my library

    My ex once took me to see some small band I can't even remember the name of because it turned out Robert Plant was the opening act. He was secretly opening so he could test out some new material he was working on (Saving Grace) without precolouring people's perceptions, but he was also Robert Plant so he blew the crowd away. I felt genuinely bad that a bunch of young twenty something's had been put in the position of having to follow up on one of the greatest singers of all time. I remember them being fine, I might have enjoyed them in another context, but the contrast in skill and experience was just insurmountable.
