Ed Sheeran to kick off massive stadium tour with three Irish dates

Ed Sheeran will kick off his latest tour with a massive gig at Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork next April.

This will be the first of three Irish shows - which will see the Shape of You hitmaker also play Thomond Park in Limerick and Boucher Road Playing Fields in Belfast.

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 on September 25.

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:

  • Páirc Uí Chaoimh, Co Cork - April 28, 2022
  • Thomond Park, Co Limerick - May 5, 2022
  • Boucher Road Playing Fields, Co Antrim - May 12, 2022.
