Global superstar Ed Sheeran has been a busy man this week, launching his own hot sauce, announcing a new album and now, unveiling a string of tour dates that start right here in Manchester.
The ‘Shivers’ singer announced his brand new album ‘-’ (Subtract) this morning, quickly followed by a six-date UK and Europe arena tour, kicking off at the AO Arena on March 23, 2023 - yep, in 22 days time.
The tour will then continue in London, Glasgow, Dublin and Paris, throughout March and April, with the album dropping on May 5.
They are currently the only scheduled UK dates for the 32-year-old, so tickets are expected to be highly in demand to see Ed play a host of fan favourites in addition to his yet-to-be-announced brand new single.
Fans can pre-order the album before 9am on Tuesday, March 7 via the artist’s official website to gain early access to the ticket pre-sale. The pre-sale will be held on Wednesday, March 8 at 9am, followed by general sale on Friday, March 10 at 9am.
