ED SHEERAN HAS landed in Dublin ahead of his massive Croke Park gigs this weekend – and true to form, he’s playing a very secret gig beforehand.
Word began to circulate earlier on today that the gig would take place at Whelan’s at 7pm tonight, so DailyEdge.ie went down to investigate (and see if we could get in too, natch).
