Ed Sheeran has announced his ‘+ – = ÷ x Tour’ (pronounced ‘The Mathematics Tour’), including two dates at the City of Sunderland’s Stadium of Light in June 2022!
Kicking off in April next year, the tour will see Ed play shows across the UK, Ireland, Central Europe and Scandinavia, with his North East double taking place on Friday 3 and Saturday 4 June – a Bank Holiday weekend to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
General sale for all territories will commence on Saturday 25 September and tickets will be available to purchase at www.edsheeran.com.
A range of hospitality packages are also available for the Stadium of Light dates and you can view the options here.
The ‘+ – = ÷ x Tour’ will see Ed return to stadiums for the first time since his record-breaking ‘Divide Tour’, which officially became the most-attended and highest-grossing tour ever by the time of its completion.
On next years’ dates, fans will get to see Ed perform an array of tracks off his upcoming album, ‘=’, live for the first time, and they will also experience a new production set-up with Ed’s staging surrounded by the crowd in each stadium.
Ed’s highly anticipated new album will be released on 29 October through Asylum/Atlantic.
Later today, Sheeran is set to replace himself at No.1 in the UK’s Official Singles Chart following the release of his new single – ‘Shivers’ – a track that Ed performed for the first time at last weekends’ MTV VMA’s.
It follows his colossal comeback track, ‘Bad Habits’, that has so far spent 11 consecutive weeks atop the same chart.
Please note, there is no pre-sale for this tour.
