Ed Sheeran brought the cozy pub experience to Coachella for fans to get tipsy and listen to music, but there was nothing ordinary about the set — featuring special guests Shaboozey and Alex Warren — he performed inside.

In videos posted to Instagram Sunday (April 20), the British pop star stands with an acoustic guitar in front of a small crowd gathered inside his Old Phone Pub pop-up, a structure specially created to make guests in the desert feel like they’re actually grabbing a pint at a hole-in-the-wall joint. But Sheeran isn’t alone. In one clip, ‘Boozey joins him to perform his record-tying 19-week Billboard Hot 100-topper “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” smiling as he sings in unison with the “Shape of You” musician before stepping out into the audience, inviting one woman to get up and dance with him.

In another clip, Sheeran welcomes breakout star Alex Warren, a TikToker whose hit “Ordinary” has rapidly propelled him to the top 10 of the Hot 100 this year. “I met this guy today for the first time,” Sheeran says before Warren steps up to the mic. “I’m so honored that he’s come to join us.”

The pair then sings the heartfelt ballad together as Sheeran plays guitar. In the comments, the four-time Grammy winner wrote, “There’s like one song every year that blows my socks off, and it’s this one.”

“Such an incredible song and talent, such an honour having you down man, and congrats on everything, so deserved,” Sheeran, who also played the Mojave stage on Saturday (April 20), added of Warren and “Ordinary.”

Sunday marked the final day of Coachella 2025, which occurred over the course of two back-to-back weekends and saw headliners Lady Gaga, Green Day and Post Malone take the main stages. The festival was only the latest host site for Sheeran’s Old Phone Pub, which the musician previously set up for one night only in Ipswich, Mass., to promote his new single, “Azizam,” ahead of upcoming album Play.

‘Michael’ Surpasses ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ As Highest-Grossing Biopic of All Time

The film has surpassed Bohemian Rhapsody's total gross with $358.6 million at the domestic box office and $553.3 million internationally.

Michael Jackson’s biopic, Michael, has dethroned Bohemian Rhapsody to become the highest-grossing music biopic of all time, crossing $911.9 million worldwide as the Jaafar Jackson-starring film continues its global rollout.

Directed by Antoine Fuqua and written by John Logan, the Lionsgate and Universal co-production has surpassed Bohemian Rhapsody‘s total gross with $358.6 million at the domestic box office and $553.3 million internationally — with Universal generating $540.5 million of the international total after acquiring foreign theatrical and ancillary rights. The film arrives in Japan today, a territory that could push Michael past $1 billion worldwide, which would make it only the second film to cross that threshold at the 2026 global box office after Universal’s Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
