In a post shared on Instagram by the festival’s official account, the BRIT award winner clutched a mug of beer as he posed with his dazzled devotees.
In its title, the organizers had written: “Special guest Ed Sheeran with an exclusive appearance at the Frankfurt Oktoberfest #edsheeran #frankfurteroktoberfest #ffm”.
Ed had just given a sold-out concert at Deutsche Bank Park, having spent the last six months traveling Europe as part of his +-=÷× tour.
