Accordingly, those responsible for Ed Sheeran's concerts in Deutsche Bank Park had approached the man behind the Oktoberfest Frankfurt in advance.
Their idea: The musicians should certainly feel like celebrating on the last stop of their world tour in Frankfurt.
So why not in the almost immediate vicinity of the stadium in the Oktoberfest tent?
A reservation for a guest and entourage was requested.
However, the name of the VIP may not be made public.
Man: "We'll do that.
But of course we want to know who it is beforehand, also for organizational and security reasons.
My contacts only wanted to tell me that after I had signed a non-disclosure agreement.”

In the end it was Ed Sheeran who wanted to celebrate the last concerts of his tour with Oktoberfest beer in Frankfurt.
The organizers of the festival in the Main metropolis would not even have revealed the name of the world star to their life partners in advance, as Mann explains to the
FAZ
: “It was crazy days when you walked around with such a secret and made ten to 15 phone calls every day or write SMS or e-mails on the matter.”

On Sunday it became clear: everything went well.

“That was a really big number!
His manager also told me that he had never spontaneously sung three songs at an after-show party."
In the marquee near the Frankfurt Stadium, Ed Sheeran sang “Everybody” by the Backstreet Boys, among others.
"He had so much fun.
And he got along well with the customs.
He drank a pint of beer almost to "ex" on stage.
He can definitely party well and is a party horse," Mann told the
