Ed Sheeran has officially confirmed what fans across the globe have been eagerly waiting for — his 2026 Global World Tour. After months of speculation and subtle hints on social media, the British singer-songwriter took to his platforms this morning to unveil the full list of dates and cities for his upcoming run of shows, marking one of the most anticipated music announcements of the year.
The 2026 Global World Tour will see Sheeran returning to stadiums and arenas worldwide, beginning in Europe before making its way across North and South America, Asia, Africa, and Australia. Major cities like London, Paris, Los Angeles, Sydney, Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro, and Cape Town are already confirmed, with even more stops expected to be added as demand surges. Fans can expect a mix of his greatest hits — from “Shape of You” to “Thinking Out Loud” — alongside new material he’s been teasing, rumored to be part of his next studio album.
Known for his intimate stage presence despite performing in massive venues, Sheeran is promising a stripped-down yet visually stunning production, highlighting his signature loop-pedal artistry. Industry insiders suggest this tour could surpass his record-breaking ÷ (Divide) Tour, which remains one of the highest-grossing tours of all time.
Tickets are set to go on sale later this fall, and pre-sale registrations are already live, with fans rushing to secure their spots for what is expected to sell out quickly. The announcement has sent waves of excitement through the music world, with Sheeran’s name trending across social media within minutes.
For millions of listeners, the 2026 Global World Tour isn’t just a concert — it’s the chance to witness one of the defining voices of a generation back on the grand stage, uniting fans through music across continents.
