Hayley Williams Slips Ed Sheeran's Old Warm-Up Acts Into Her Pre-Show Playlist
Hayley Williams, frontwoman of Paramore, used her pre-show house playlist at a solo tour stop in Forest Hills, New York, to spotlight two Irish musicians with deep ties to Ed Sheeran's touring history. The selections were first reported by ladbible Ireland.
What was played
Before Williams took the stage, the venue's speakers ran a mix that included Irish acts Aaron Rowe and Beoga alongside Macklemore, Finneas and Lukas Graham. This was house music playing ahead of the show — not Williams's own setlist.

The Ed Sheeran connection
According to ladbible Ireland, both Aaron Rowe and Beoga have previously worked as support acts and collaborators for Ed Sheeran. The choice to include them in her pre-show mix is being read as a gesture of support for the two Irish acts, and the post has circulated widely within Irish music circles online.
