I wouldn't have thought their fan bases would overlap significantly.

They’ve done more than a few songs together. I don’t really follow either artist but they’ve been collaborating for over ten years now

Sheeran sings the hook on a ton of rap/ hiphop songs and both are basically pop music artists.

There is definitely an over lap between people who listen to Ed Sheeran and bump thrift shop.

Thank you for the correction.

I don't think I can name any Ed Sheerhan songs but I think I know the vibe, and Thrift Shop is the only song of Macklemore's that I know other than the recent protest song.

That's never stopped a concert gig before. Evanescence shouldn't have toured with Korn all the time, but they sure as shit did it successfully.

TIL. I'm not really a live music guy.

They used to also have double features at the drive in movie theaters too, and they'd have some odd mashups. I remember watching the movie Big, and the Rambo 3. Place stayed full.

I remember I saw a double feature of Lilo & Stitch paired with the Bourne Identity. Never understood the target audience of that one 😂

The drive-in nearest me still does that. It's sometimes hard to decide if the kids would make it through all three movies.

i have never had any interest in seeing Ed Sheeran. Would be very interested in seeing Macklemore

So, to me, its weird that Macklemore was only an opening act. I suspect many people could name more Macklemore songs than Ed Sheeran ones, and I definitely hear macklemore on the radio more (on all stations) here in Australia
