Ed Sheeran will kick off his latest massive stadium tour with a series of huge gigs across Ireland next year.
The 30-year-old superstar will fill one of the open concert slots at Croke Park on April 23, Aiken Promotions announced on Wednesday morning.
This will be the first of four Irish shows - which will see the Shape of You hitmaker also play Paire Ui Chaoimh in Cork, Thomond Park in Limerick, and Boucher Road Playing Fields in Belfast, Dublin Live reports.
The ' + - = ÷ x' tour (aka the Mathematics Tour), will start next spring, with Sheeran initially announcing dates across Europe.
The series of shows will follow on from the highly-anticipated release of his new album '=' in October.
Tickets will be available on the Ed Sheeran website, with tickets going on sale this Friday, September 25, at 8am
A spokeswoman said: "Ed’s upcoming ‘+ - = ÷ x Tour’ will see Ed 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, and they will also experience a new production set-up with Ed’s staging in the round, surrounded by the crowd in each stadium."
The Irish dates are as follows:
- Croke Park, Dublin - April 23, 2022
- Páirc Uí Chaoimh, Co Cork - April 28, 2022
- Thomond Park, Co Limerick - May 5, 2022
