Ed Sheeran's stadium tours go through an agency that dropped its own name in March 2026. For 24 years, the firm sold tickets and signed athletes as Wasserman. Its new name is THE·TEAM, and Casey Wasserman, the founder whose surname it bore, gave up daily control a month before the change.

Wasserman put the firm up for sale on 13 February 2026, two weeks after his emails to Ghislaine Maxwell turned up in the Epstein files. No one has accused him of wrongdoing. Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, and Raye stay on the roster, and Providence Equity Partners has agreed to buy Wasserman out.
