There was some bad news for Ed Sheeran's North East fans on Wednesday, when it was revealed he'd cancelled one of his gigs at Sunderland's Stadium of Light due to a 'scheduling conflict'.
There was great excitement last year when it was announced that the Thinking Out Loud and A Team singer would be bringing his latest tour to Wearside over three consecutive nights, following the huge success of his latest album and number 1 singles Bad Habits and Shivers. Brit winner Ed was all set to play the Stadium of Light on June 2, 3 and 4, but the first night, the Thursday, has now been scrapped due to scheduling issue.
Those who have tickets for the Thursday, June 2 are being offered tickets for one of the other shows, with those affected sent emails informing them on the cancellation. The statement in the email reads: "We regrettably must inform you that due to a scheduling conflict, the show at Sunderland 's Stadium of Light on Thursday, June 2 is unable to take place. We're still very excited for the Friday and Saturday gigs." Ticket holders affected are being offered tickets for either the Friday or the Saturday or a refund.
