Ed Sheeran announces huge tour kicking off in March

2017 is shaping up to be another huge year for Ed Sheeran as the star has announced a series of tour dates for the UK & Ireland, Europe, Mexico and Central & South America.

In support of his forthcoming album Ć· (divide), arriving on 3rd March, the tour will kick off on 17th March 2017 in Italy. Ed will bring the tour to the UK & Ireland in April and he’ll be performing two nights at The O2 in London on 1st and 2nd May 2017.

Ed is currently riding high in the charts holding the number 1 and 2 spots for the second week running with his singles Shape of You and Castle on the Hill respectively. It’s looking very likely they’ll hold on for a third week when the charts are announced tonight.
