Oktoberfest is back after a two-year hiatus, and this year a very special guest rocked up for an impromptu performance – Ed Sheeran!
Ed surprised fans at the beer festival in Frankfurt, as he walked out on stage and performed his hit single Perfect as well as a rendition of Everybody (Backstreet’s Back) by the Backstreet Boys.
The 31-year-old singer dressed for the occasion by sporting lederhosen over a blue checked shirt and a traditional-style German hat.
Ed got into the festival’s iconic spirit and could be seen drinking a stein of beer after his performance as he posed for selfies with fans.
The festival was keen to make the most of the global superstar’s appearance and put his beer glass up for auction on eBay to raise money for charity.
At the time of writing, the bids had already racked up to almost £2,000 for this one-of-a-kind item.

The organisation announced the exciting arrival with a snap of Ed with some of the festival goers on its Instagram.
It captioned the photo: ‘Special guest Ed Sheeran with an exclusive appearance at the Frankfurt Oktoberfest #edsheeran #frankfurteroktoberfest #ffm.’
His short gig comes after the singer played a sold-out concert at Deutsche Bank Park, as part of his six-month world tour.
It’s also the Brit award-winner’s second surprise appearance in recent weeks, after he thrilled crowds at the lavish party at O Beach in Ibiza when he took to the stage.

Ed loved taking to the stage at the Wayne Lineker-owned bar, and made the owner’s day as he documented the amazing moment on his Instagram.
The energetic performer danced across the stage in a casual summer outfit of sunglasses, white T-shirt and khaki shorts as he performed iconic covers such as I Want It That Way and Sweet Caroline.
Wayne shared a video of the surreal moment, as he beamed at the camera from the side of the stage.
