Check out the best photos from Ed Sheeran’s opening night at the Etihad Stadium.

The Shape of You singer performed to 60,000 adoring fans as he kicked off his four-night stint at the home of the Premier League champions on Thursday 9 June.

Sheeran, who was supported by Dylan and Maisie Peters, was on stage for two hours in what is the 12th instalment of a 34-leg world tour that will see him perform 74 shows in 31 locations.

The singer-songwriter followed Liam Gallagher as the second act to visit the Etihad this summer, performing a 23-song set list, which included platinum-selling singles Thinking out Loud, Galway Girl, Bad Habits and Castle on the Hill.

Our Club Photographers were in attendance to capture every minute of the gig and you can view the best photos from a memorable evening below.
