Ed Sheeran has announced some last minute concert dates in the UK and Europe and tickets are out tomorrow.
After completing the Australian leg of his tour, the 32-year-old had his British and European fans spinning when he announced he will be stopping over in the UK, Dublin and Paris later this month before heading off to his other international venues.
Ed will touch down in Manchester (March 23), London’s O2 (March 24 and 25) and Glasgow (March 28), before heading over to Ireland for a Dublin show (March 30) and on to Paris for a one-off performance (April 2) .
The Shape of You singer revealed the happy news was to celebrate the release of his upcoming album, Subtract – also spelt ‘-‘ – which will be the ‘last in his decade-spanning mathematical era’.
The Brit has other albums named after mathematical symbols, such as ‘x’, ‘=’, and ‘ ’.
We’ve all enjoyed watching Ed make his way around his world tour where he’s delighted school children with surprise performances, pretended to be a Hobbit, and even partied with Snoop Dogg.

But the last few years haven’t been all smiles for the megastar, who has also opened up about his personal struggles.
Subtract was made in the backdrop of these struggles, which have included his own journey with mental health, the death of the singer’s close friend Jamal Edwards and his wife Cherry Seaborn’s health complications during pregnancy.
The album will be released on May 5, and Ed told NME it’s been in the making for a decade.
‘I had been working on Subtract for a decade, trying to sculpt the perfect acoustic album, writing and recording hundreds of songs with a clear vision of what I thought it should be,’ Ed said of the record.
Then at the start of 2022, a series of events changed my life, my mental health, and ultimately the way I viewed music and art.
‘Writing songs is my therapy. It helps me make sense of my feelings. I wrote without thought of what the songs would be, I just wrote whatever tumbled out. And in just over a week, I replaced a decade’s worth of work with my deepest darkest thoughts.’
