Ed Sheeran’s weekend concerts at Gillette Stadium have been officially canceled due to dangerous weather conditions. This news comes as a major disruption for fans, especially as the tour has already been dealing with significant internal turmoil involving the removal of Sheeran’s support artist, Macklemore.
According to CNN, the Robert Kraft-owned venue confirmed the cancellations on Friday. The decision was made following consultation with local officials, the promoter, and the tour itself. Hazardous weather warnings were issued for Boston and across New England for the entire weekend. Messina Touring, which handles Sheeran’s tour, noted on Instagram, “The decision was made with the safety of fans, staff and everyone involved in the shows as the top priority.”
