The singer-songwriter is due to hit the road this winter in support of his new album ‘Play’, which is released next Friday (September 12). Pre-order/pre-save here.
He’ll kick off the forthcoming run of dates at Paris’ Zenith on December 1, ahead of a show at Munich’s Olympiahalle on December 3.
Two days later (December 5), Sheeran will return to the UK and Ireland for shows at the Coventry Building Society Arena, Manchester’s Co-op Live (7) and Dublin’s 3Arena (9).
The tour gives fans the chance to watch the artist in smaller venues than usual, with Sheeran previously playing multiple nights at Wembley Stadium as part of his massive ‘+−=÷× Tour’ (aka ‘Mathematics Tour’).
“Coming to play some shows in Europe,” Sheeran wrote on social media. “These shows will be more intimate than a stadium show, obvz, but still will be incredible. I love playing these venues so much.”
Tickets for Sheeran’s 2025 UK and European arena tour go on general sale at 10am BST next Thursday (September 11). You’ll be able to buy yours here (UK/Ireland) and here (Europe).
Alternatively, fans can access a pre-sale for the Coventry and Manchester dates only by pre-ordering ‘Play’ from Amazon UK. For the Paris, Munich, and Dublin shows, you can sign up to register for pre-sale before 23.59pm next Monday (8). An artist pre-sale will then go live at 10am BST on Tuesday (9).

This week will see Sheeran play three arena shows in Düsseldorf, Germany. He’ll then take his all-new ‘Loop’ stadium tour to New Zealand and Australia in January 2026.
Last month, Sheeran reunited with Rupert Grint in the “fun, bonkers” official video for his latest single ‘A Little More’. It followed on from the previously-released ‘Play’ songs ‘Azizam’, ‘Old Phone’. and ‘Sapphire’.
Earlier this year, the musician revealed that his new album “was made as a direct response to the darkest period of my life”. He added: “Coming out of all of that I just wanted to create joy and technicolour, and explore cultures in the countries I was touring.
“I made this record all over the world, finished it in Goa, India, and had some of the most fun, explorative, creative days of my life.”
In other news, Sheeran recently surprised fans by performing with a folk band at a pub in Ireland.
