Ed Sheeran has officially unveiled the long-anticipated North American leg of his 2026 **LOOP Tour**, setting the stage for what promises to be one of the most talked-about live music events of the decade. After months of speculation and mounting excitement from fans, the global superstar revealed the new dates this week, marking the next chapter in his extraordinary live performance era.
The LOOP Tour, named after Sheeran’s iconic loop pedal technique that has defined much of his career, is expected to bring an immersive and intimate concert experience to stadiums and arenas across the United States and Canada. With his signature blend of heartfelt ballads, infectious pop anthems, and innovative live arrangements, Sheeran aims to give audiences a fresh take on what a large-scale concert can feel like.
The North American run is scheduled to kick off in early summer 2026, beginning on the East Coast before making its way through major cities such as New York, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Dallas. Several surprise dates in smaller cities have also been hinted at, reflecting Sheeran’s desire to connect with fans in a more personal way. Tickets are expected to sell out quickly, with presales opening in the coming weeks.
In his announcement, Sheeran emphasized that this tour will be “about connection, creativity, and sharing music in its purest form.” Fans can expect stripped-down performances, stunning visuals, and a setlist that balances his greatest hits with brand-new material. Industry insiders predict that the LOOP Tour will not only solidify Sheeran’s reputation as one of the greatest live acts of his generation but also set new standards for stadium shows worldwide.
For millions of fans across North America, 2026 is already shaping up to be the year of Ed Sheeran.
