The pre-show set included tracks from his most recent album, - (Subtract). Ed also cracked a few jokes about playing during daylight hours versus the nighttime he usually does. “Usually when I start playing, it’s like pitch-black and now I get to see everyone.

It’s awesome,” he said. “This is pretty fun.” Ed then added, “I kind of feel like when you’re the main act, there’s a bunch of pressure because people have paid to see you but I feel like when you’re the opening act you’re sort of like, ‘Let’s have fun.

Let’s play songs.’” After a handful of more songs, Ed did confirm that Khalid would still be joining the tour in Boston.
