The +–=÷× Tour (pronounced The Mathematics Tour)[1] is the ongoing fourth concert tour by English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran. Comprising 149 shows, the tour commenced on 23 April 2022 in Dublin, Ireland, and is scheduled to conclude on 8 September 2025 in Duesseldorf, Germany.[2][3][4] The tour is in support of his fifth studio album = (2021) and his sixth studio album − (2023).

Background

[edit]

On 17 September 2021, Sheeran announced a 27-date European tour.[5][6] As soon as tickets went on-sale, dates were added to several locations across the tour, due to overwhelming demand, bringing the overall number of shows to 64.[7] On 15 March 2022, Sheeran announced the Oceania leg of the tour. Tickets went on-sale on 23 March 2022.[3] On 22 March 2022, Sheeran added three more cities to the Oceania leg of the tour—in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne.[8] On 15 June 2022, Sheeran added a further three stops to the Oceania leg, in Wellington, Auckland, and Brisbane. On 20 September 2022, the additional Wellington show scheduled for 1 February 2023 was canceled, citing on-going uncertainties affecting a number of different variables with global touring.[9] In October 2022, Sheeran announced that the North American leg of the tour would begin in 2023.[10] In October 2023, he announced the Asian leg of the tour that would start in early 2024.[11] In July 2024, he announced that the tour will end in 2025.[4]

Sheeran brought his family (wife Cherry, and daughters Lyra and Jupiter) along on tour (though they do not appear with him onstage).[12] During early 2023, they all lived together for two months in a rented bungalow in Auckland from which he commuted to the Australian and New Zealand venues.[12] They watched North by Northwest in Peter Jackson's home cinema in Wellington, together with Jackson and James Cameron.[12]
