Ed Sheeran announces 2022 tour as he makes epic return after two years off stage
ED Sheeran has announced he's going on tour in 2022 after two years off stage.
The superstar singer, 30, will take his '+ - = ÷ x Tour’ - pronounced ‘The Mathematics Tour’ - across the UK, Ireland, Central Europe and Scandinavia for the first leg.
His epic return will see him perform in London’s Wembley Stadium for three nights in June/July.
Other UK and Ireland locations include Cork, Limerick, Belfast, Cardiff, Sunderland, Manchester and Glasgow.
It's the first time he's sung in front of stadium crowds since his record-breaking ‘Divide Tour’, which ran from 2017-2019.
It officially became the most-attended and highest-grossing tour, ever, by
the time of its completion.
From April next year, 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 in the round, surrounded by the crowd in each stadium.
Meanwhile Ed’s highly anticipated new album ‘=’ will be released on October 29 through Asylum/Atlantic.
Later today, Ed is set to replace himself at No.1 on 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.
As of last week, Ed has become the first British Solo Artist to claim 52 weeks – a full year – at No.1 on the Official UK Singles Chart, with only Elvis Presley and The Beatles achieving more overall weeks at the top.
In between all this, Ed has been juggling being a first-time dad following the birth of his daughter, Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran, in September 2020.
Tickets go on sale on Saturday, September 25. Tickets will be available to purchase at www.edsheeran.com.
