In a unique venture, Ed Sheeran is set to open the Old Phone Pub in Ipswich, Massachusetts, just days after his surprise appearance at a Boston bar on St. Patrick's Day. The pub is designed as a pop-up establishment, and it will operate for a mere two days, making it a special experience for fans and patrons alike. During this short time, Sheeran is offering visitors an opportunity to engage internally with the concept of nostalgia and personal memories, encouraging attendees to share meaningful old messages linked to their phones. This interactive element is inviting fans to take an emotional journey, while the pub will also showcase Guinness and tater tots, enhancing the fun atmosphere during its operation. Just prior to this opening, Sheeran visited WBZ-TV in Boston for a surprise visit where he expressed his fondness for Massachusetts, stating that he feels as though he has been adopted by the local community. His connection to the area is clear as he has built a significant fan base over the years. Earlier in 2023, he achieved a record attendance for a single show at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, affirming his popularity in the region. This upcoming event further solidifies his relationship with both the fans and the local culture. The Old Phone Pub debuted alongside the promotion of Sheeran's new single,
