Powering the stage: NED and Buffalo behind Ed Sheeran’s european tour | “+-=÷x” (Mathematics)
Power generators for concerts and events
When live music meets engineering excellence, the result is a performance that runs smoothly both on and off stage.
This was the case during Ed Sheeran’s European Tour “+-=÷x” (Mathematics), where power supply played a silent but essential role — especially at one of the most iconic venues in Europe: Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
At the heart of the energy system were Buffalo’s 500kVA generators powered by NED, chosen for their ability to combine:
- robust performance,
- hypersilent operation,
- adaptability to the most demanding scenarios.
A customised solution for Live event power
What made this setup unique wasn’t just the raw power or the parallel operating mode — both of which are standard for large-scale events — but a custom feature designed specifically for the tour’s needs:
the electrical panels were installed inside the generator canopy, creating a dedicated, weather-protected control room.
This solution was developed on direct request from the client, to ensure safe and continuous control access for technicians even under unfavourable weather conditions, such as the frequent rainfalls in the UK.
Power generators for concerts and events: It’s a detail that speaks volumes about the importance of flexibility and foresight when powering international live tours.
Engineering, partnership, performance
Power generators for concerts and events
This achievement is the result of a close and effective collaboration with Buffalo Power, whose deep experience in live event logistics helped define every technical and operational aspect of the installation.
Together, we delivered a tailor-made power solution that exceeded expectations — an example of how engineering precision, attention to detail, and collaborative spirit can support even the world’s most high-profile tours.
Why it matters for the event industry
Events of this scale leave no room for compromise.
