Ed Sheeran is keeping 2025 lit with even more live shows. Just as he gears up to drop his eighth studio album, Play, on September 12, the singer-songwriter has unveiled a handful of U.K. and European tour dates for December. Fans are in for some intimate arena vibes, as Sheeran takes his music to venues smaller than stadiums, but still packed with energy.
The five-date winter tour kicks off on December 1 at Zenith in Paris, then hits Munich, Coventry, Manchester, and wraps up in Dublin the following week. These shows promise a closer connection with fans and a fresh way to experience Ed’s hits live.

If you’re looking to snag a ticket, mark your calendars: artist presale opens September 9 at 10 a.m. BST, with general sale starting September 11 at 10 a.m. BST. Fans can register and get all the info directly through Ed Sheeran’s official website.
On Instagram, Sheeran shared, “These shows will be more intimate than a stadium show, obvz [sic], but still will be incredible. I love playing these venues so much.” Clearly, Ed is ready to deliver a cozy yet unforgettable experience.
A Sneak Peek at What’s Next
This mini-tour is just the warm-up for the 2026 Loop stadium tour across Australia and New Zealand, kicking off January 16 in Auckland. Though details are still under wraps, Ed teased a fresh stage setup with “new tricks, new songs, and all the classics.”
Leading up to Play, Ed’s been touring Europe heavily on his Mathematics tour, including homecoming shows at Ipswich Town F.C.’s Portman Road. Singles like Azizam—which reached No. 3 on the U.K. Singles Chart—have kept fans hyped, while the new album promises a “rollercoaster of emotions” and bursts of color and joy.
With 43 top 10 singles and 323 weeks on the U.K. charts, Sheeran continues to dominate the scene, blending classic hits with new vibes. This winter, catching him live in an intimate arena might just be the perfect way to vibe with the music before the Loop tour takes over next year.
