Ed Sheeran has added Limerick superstar Denise to support him on his Irish tour later this month.
The 'Mathematics' Tour comes to Ireland in two weeks' time, with Ed set to play two Croke Park gigs, before heading to Páirc Ui Chaoimh for two dates, Thomond Park for two more gigs and then finishing off with a pair of concerts at Boucher Road Playing Fields in Belfast.
Most of the gigs have been sold out for weeks and Ed had already announced that up-and-coming British popstar Maisie Peters would be coming along for the ride as a support act.

But on Monday afternoon, we learned that Chaila would be featuring on the line up too.
Denise has seen her career skyrocket in the last two years, taking home a gong at the 2022 Music Moves Europe Awards to back up an RTE’s Choice Music Prize Album of the Year for her EP Go Bravely.
Taking to her Instagram after the news was announced, Denise was giddy with excitement.
She wrote: " *soft whisper*: this wasn’t on my 2022 bingo card. I will NOT share my early theatre kid pictures (yet) (I was going to) (lol) but the nostalgic gratitude has hit like a truck. I’ve been trying not to jinx it and manage my own expectations or whatever for AGES (only like a few days lol) but it happened so. Cause no listen to me, STADIUMS with ED SHEERA— stopppp"
Fans and friends gushed in the comments and mentions with support, including Tolu Makay, Tara Flynn and Moncrieff.
Denise later took to her stories, writing "You're all making my day very beautiful. I'm happy to share these moments with you!
