Ed Sheeran Announces Intimate UK and European Tour
Ed Sheeran is set to perform a series of "intimate" shows across Europe this winter in support of his upcoming album, 'Play,' which is scheduled for release on September 12th. The tour, which will take place in December, offers fans a chance to see the artist in smaller venues than his usual stadium performances. The singer-songwriter will perform just two dates in the UK: at the Coventry Building Society Arena on December 5th and Manchester's Co-op Live on December 7th. The tour will also include stops in Paris, Munich, and Dublin.
Sheeran shared the news on social media, writing that the shows "will be more intimate than a stadium show obvz, but still will be incredible." Paul Michael, managing director of the CBS Arena, described the artist's return to Coventry as a "massive coup" that "really puts us on the map." The new arena tour will take place before his larger 'Loop' stadium tour, which is set to begin in Australia in January 2026.
Tickets for the shows will go on general sale on September 11th. Fans who pre-order the new album will also have a chance to access a pre-sale for tickets. This announcement comes after Sheeran recently reunited with actor Rupert Grint for the music video of his latest single, 'A Little More.'
