Ed Sheeran\u00a0<\/strong>made history on Jan. 24 when he became the first international artist to perform in the South Asian nation of Bhutan.<\/p>\n

“What a gig, what a country, what a beautiful place with incredible people,” Ed wrote on Instagram on Saturday<\/a>, celebrating the accomplishment\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

He went on to thank the country, writing “lemme know if i can move there, please and thank you. and also thank you so much for welcoming me and my touring crew, and for every volunteer who helped put on such a historic show. hopefully see you again soon !”<\/p>\n

In a video attached to the post, Ed is seen performing at a stadium in the country. He also described a meal he shared with Bhutan’s royalty.<\/p>\n

“I went for dinner with the king and queen yesterday,” Ed says in the video. “They said, ‘We just want people coming to the country that want to love and respect the country and understand the ideals.'”<\/p>\n

Bhutan’s Department of Tourism<\/a>\u00a0also celebrated the event on social media.<\/p>\n

“On January 24th, Ed Sheeran made history as the first-ever international artist to perform in Bhutan. Two days later, we’re still feeling the energy of that unforgettable night. Thank you, @teddysphotos, for an incredible performance and for sharing your love for the Land of the Thunder Dragon,” read the post on the department’s Instagram page.<\/p>\n

Ed’s Bhutan concert was part of a group of shows on his +\u2013=\u00f7x (Mathematics) Tour; he’d previously announced that 2025\u00a0will mark the end<\/a>\u00a0of the tour, which kicked off in 2022.<\/p>\n
