In early August, Zurich was transformed into a stage for great emotions – and the Letzigrund was at the heart of it all.
On 2 and 3 August 2025, Ed Sheeran played two sold-out concerts at the Letzigrund Stadium. Over 100,000 fans experienced music, light and emotion on those evenings with such intensity that it radiated out from the stadium and into the whole city.
Zurich: a city steeped in music
Hours before the concert began, the streets around the Letzigrund were already filling with eager fans. There was a peaceful, excited atmosphere in the air – people from all over Europe had come to see one of the greatest songwriters of our time perform live.
When Ed Sheeran took to the stage, the cheers were deafening. From the very first chord, there was magic in the air: flames and lights bathed the sky in colour, whilst he created soundscapes with his guitar, looper and voice that transformed the stadium into an intimate space.

Two nights full of goosebumps
What made the evenings at the Letzigrund so special was the blend of intimacy and spectacle. Monumental show moments featuring pyrotechnics and lasers were followed by quiet ballads, with 50,000 voices singing along in unison.
One special moment that will remain in many people’s memories: a newlywed couple who turned up in a wedding dress and a jacket – and celebrated their wedding night with Ed Sheeran. A symbol of how music brings people together and creates stories.
Thousands of mobile phone lights made the Letzigrund look like a sparkling sea – an atmosphere somewhere between euphoria and reverence that lingered even after the final notes had faded.
The Letzigrund: a stage full of emotion
For Zurich, these two nights were far more than just concerts – they were an event that demonstrated how music brings people together. The Letzigrund became a stage for powerful emotions, a place where intimacy and ecstasy can coexist.
With Ed Sheeran’s concerts, the stadium wrote another chapter in its history – as a venue where global stars perform, emotions are shared and lasting memories are made.
When the lights go out and the city is once again enveloped in night, a feeling lingers that will resonate for a long time to come:
The Letzigrund is not just a stadium. It is a place where music becomes history.
