Ed Sheeran's Intimate European Tour: Only Two UK Dates!
EXCLUSIVE: Ed Sheeran's European Arena Tour Announced - But British Fans Will Have To Wait!
The wait is almost over for Ed Sheeran fans, as the four-time Grammy Award winner has finally announced an intimate European arena tour ahead of his highly-anticipated new album "Play". However, a shocking twist has left British fans feeling disappointed and frustrated.
According to sources close to the singer, Ed will be embarking on a whirlwind tour of France, Germany, and Ireland in December 2025. But for UK-based fans, it's going to be a bit of a trek - with only two dates scheduled at Manchester and Coventry arenas. Yes, you read that right! Just two measly shows on British soil!
But don't worry, Ed's loyal fanbase won't have to wait too long to get their fix of live music. The "Shape of You" singer will be kicking off his massive Loop stadium tour in Australia in January 2026. However, for those who want to experience the magic of an intimate arena show before the big stadiums take over, this is their chance.
To secure tickets, fans must pre-order Ed's new album "Play" by 7pm on September 7th. Yes, you heard that right - it's a clever marketing ploy to get fans hyped about the new music while also securing those all-important pre-sale tickets. And if you thought that was the only catch, think again!
For UK-based fans, pre-orders must be placed on Amazon Music UK by 7pm BST on September 7th. EU fans, however, have a slightly later deadline - with pre-orders needing to be made on Ed's official store by 3pm BST on September 8th.
The pre-sale extravaganza kicks off at 10am on September 9th, while general tickets will go on sale two days later on September 11th. It's a clever move, but will it be enough to satisfy the demand for Ed Sheeran concert tickets?
Meanwhile, in other news, Ed has been opening up about the music industry in a new YouTube video with his Beta Squad crew. In the candid chat, Ed dished out some juicy gossip and revealed that there are indeed "professional singers who mime". Ouch!
When asked if he thought it was common practice for artists to lip-sync their performances, Ed replied: "They don't admit to it though. I can't get away with it because it's me with a loop pedal and a guitar. I'd always push through, even if it was like slightly raspy."
Ed's comments come hot on the heels of his infamous 2017 Glastonbury headline set, where some fans accused him of using a backing track to enhance his performance. In response, Ed took to social media (now known as X) to defend himself: "Never thought I'd have to explain it, but everything I do in my live show is live, it's a loop station, not a backing track."
Fast forward to the present day, and Ed is gearing up for his next big project - an upcoming music video featuring none other than Rupert Grint reprising his role as Ed's stalker. The new single "A Little More" promises to be an "utterly bonkers" ride, with flashbacks from Ed's 2011 hit "Lego House" playing a starring role.
So, who's ready for the Ed Sheeran European arena tour? It looks like it's going to be a wild ride!
