Ed Sheeran’s huge 2025 continues to build momentum as he expands his ongoing world tour with additional U.K. and European dates scheduled for the end of the year.
As Sheeran prepares to unveil his eighth studio album Play next week (Sept. 12), the singer-songwriter has shared that he will take his live show to select arenas in December. The five-date tour will begin at Zenith in Paris on Dec. 1, before heading to Munich, Coventry, Manchester and Dublin over the following week. See the full schedule below.

Tickets for the newly-announced dates will be available through an artist presale on Sept. 9 at 10 a.m. (BST), for which fans can register via Sheeran’s website. General on-sale begins Sept. 11 at 10 a.m. (BST).
In an Instagram post announcing the mini-tour, Sheeran said: “These shows will be more intimate than a stadium show, obvz [sic], but still will be incredible. I love playing these venues so much.”
The shows will serve as a warm-up for his forthcoming 2026 Australia and New Zealand Loop stadium tour, which kicks off in Auckland on Jan. 16. Details of what the Loop tour will entail are currently vague, though Sheeran previously mentioned on social media that it will feature a fresh production set-up. “New stage, new tricks, new set up, new songs and all the classics added in,” he said in July.
In the build up to the release of Play, Sheeran has toured Europe extensively with his Mathematics tour, with a summer trek that included a trio of homecoming shows at Portman Road, home to his beloved soccer team Ipswich Town F.C.
Back in April, he shared the album’s lively lead single “Azizam,” which hit No. 3 on the Official U.K. Singles Chart. At the time, he described Play as “a real rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish,” adding that the purpose of the new record was for him “to create joy and technicolour.”
According to the Official Charts Company, Sheeran has landed 43 top 10 singles to date, including recent hit Sapphire (peaking at No. 5) His songs have spent a combined 323 weeks – equivalent to six years – in the U.K. top 10 since his major label debut “The A Team” in 2011.
