Ed Sheeran Plans December UK, Europe Arena Shows Ahead New Album

Ed Sheeran is set to perform a series of more intimate arena shows across Europe and the UK this December, including stops in Paris, Munich, Coventry, Manchester, and Dublin’s 3Arena, ahead of the release of his new album, Play, on September 12. These concerts mark a departure from his usual stadium tours, offering fans a rare chance to experience his music up close before he embarks on his Loop stadium tour in Australia and New Zealand starting in January 2026. Pre-sale tickets are available through edsheeran.com and Amazon, with general sales beginning on September 11. Play represents a new chapter for Sheeran, blending his signature heartfelt songwriting with fresh influences and collaborations with global producers and musicians. The tour follows the conclusion of his Mathematics world tour and continues his evolution as an artist. UK fans have limited opportunities to see Sheeran in more intimate venues, with only two UK dates included in this December run.
