English singer Ed Sheeran performed at MetLife Stadium Saturday night for the first Meadowlands Sports Complex performance since 2018.
His return to the New Jersey stadium brought an attendance record high — breaking the record for most fans there, NJ.com reported.
Sheeran’s crowd was made up of 89,106 fans, breaking the attendance record at MetLife Stadium during his Mathematics Tour.
The new record was announced by an Atlantic Records spokesperson Monday and confirmed by a spokesperson for MetLife Stadium, the outlet reported.
The close to 90,000 fans is Sheeran’s largest U.S. concert to date.
The previous concert attendance record in that venue was held by U2, whose July 20, 2011 360 Tour show saw 88,491 fans.
Sheeran’s concert also surpassed the attendance record of close friend and fellow artist Taylor Swift. Swift’s first night playing in the stadium accumulated more than 82,000 attendees.
Sheeran is currently in the middle of the North American leg of his “Mathematics Tour.” The show includes songs from his entire discography. Openers for his MetLife show included artists Khalid and Dylan.
This is Sheeran’s first tour in five years since his history-making “Divide Tour” in 2018. The North American leg of the tour kicked off in Arlington, Texas on May 6 and will close out in Inglewood, California on Sept. 23.
Sheeran will be making stops at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough on June 30 and July 1 and at the Boch Center Wang Theatre in Boston on June 29.
