Thank Ed Sheeran for the Traffic in Tinley Park Wednesday

Expect heavy traffic around Tinley Park Wednesday evening, folks. British balladeer Ed Sheeran’s in town, and fans are sure to flock to Hollywood Casino Amphitheater for the 7 p.m. show.

Other acts include Christina Perri and Passenger, but Sheeran is set to entertain with his one-man show. Sheeran, 24, has had no problem selling out venues all by his lonely, lovelorn self, crooning such hits as “Photograph,” “Thinking Out Loud” and “A Team.”

Known also for his BFF status with Taylor Swift, Sheeran has won the hearts of teenage girls worldwide with his humble, shy demeanor and romantic lyrics. Fans can expect Sheeran strumming his acoustic guitar, with touches of vocal and instrument looping devices. Oh and Christina Perri will chime in on at least one duet.

Drivers, beware: I-80 both directions is likely to be clogged, as is Harlem Avenue from both exits, between 183rd, to 191st and Oak Park Avenue. Throw in a touch of rush hour and the evening hours in Tinley are bound to be a traffic disaster.
