About Ed Sheeran's new tour
Ed Sheeran’s upcoming ‘+ - = ÷ x Tour’ will see the Suffolk singer-songwriter return to stadiums for the first time since his record-breaking ‘Divide Tour’.
Taking place from 2017-2019, it officially became the most attended and highest-grossing tour ever by the time of its completion.
On next year’s dates, fans will get to see Ed perform an array of tracks off his upcoming album, ‘=’, live for the first time.
They will also experience a new production set-up with Shape of You star Ed’s staging in the round, surrounded by the crowd in each stadium.
Sheeran's highly anticipated new album ‘=’ will be released on October 29 through Asylum/Atlantic.
Later today (September 17), Sheeran is set to replace himself at No.1 on the UK’s Official Singles Chart following the release of his new single Shivers – a track that Ed performed for the first time at last weekend’s MTV VMA’s.
It follows his colossal comeback track Bad Habits that has, so far, spent 11 weeks atop the same chart.

How do I buy Ed Sheeran 2022 tour tickets?
Tickets will be available to purchase from Saturday, September 25, via www.edsheeran.com.
For the 2022 tour, promoters will be operating a new mobile digital ticket sold only via approved official vendors.
Once again, Ed Sheeran and his team have a "strict stance" against anyone using unofficial secondary ticketing sites in order to try and stop fans being exploited when trying to buy tickets for his shows.
The shows on his 2022 tour will use specially developed mobile digital ticketing technology which have safeguards in place to ensure genuine fans are buying genuine tickets.
This will stop unofficial secondary ticketing sites, and unofficial ticket sellers, from being able to resell tickets at inflated prices and rip off fans.
In order to make buying legitimate tickets easier on the day, fans are encouraged to sign up for an account with an official ticket vendor in advance of the on sale.
Fans who become unable to go to the shows will be able to sell their tickets to other fans at the price they paid, plus a booking fee, through the official fan-to-fan face value resale platform at the place they purchased the tickets.
The promoters urge all customers to only use the official ticket sites listed at Edsheeran.com and are reminded that Viagogo is not an official ticket vendor for this tour.
As per previous Ed Sheeran tours, the promoters will be monitoring the sales transactions in conjunction with the National Trading Standards Cyber Crime team, to identify purchases which are in contravention of the terms and conditions for the sale of the Ed Sheeran tickets.
All ticket purchases that contravene these terms and conditions will be subject to possible cancellation.
