Ed Sheeran adds extra Cardiff Principality Stadium date to 2022 world tour

Ed Sheeran has added a third show at Cardiff's Principality Stadium to his 2022 world tour.

The star last played the Welsh capital in 2018 when he performed to 240,000 fans over a record-breaking spectacular four-night run at the stadium.

He is set to return to Cardiff next May, with a third gig at the Principality Stadium added to his latest tour of the country due to demand, after two shows were announced earlier this month.

The singer/ songwriter's gigs in the city will take place on May 26, May 27 and now May 28 2022, and you can read about how to get tickets here.

They will form part of the first leg of his ‘+ - = ÷ x Tour’ (pronounced ‘The Mathematics Tour’) , taking place in stadiums throughout 2022. New dates have also been announced in Sunderland, Manchester and London.

Kicking off in April next year, the tour will see him play 27 shows across the UK, Ireland, Central Europe and Scandinavia.

This tour will be the first time the singer returns to stadiums since his record-breaking Divide tour, which kicked off in 2017 and became the most-attended and highest-grossing tour ever by the time of its completion in 2019.

In his first night on that tour, he told the huge crowd: "Hello Cardiff. I haven't packed a gig in Cardiff since 2014 and it was a lot smaller than this.

"I've just done a big UK and Ireland stadium tour and this is by far my favourite stadium I've played."

"I'm so excited because I know the Welsh are bloody nuts!"

Tickets for the new Cardiff date go on sale tomorrow ( Tuesday, September 28 ) and you can buy them from Ticketmaster here.
