Everything You Need to Know About Ed Sheeran's "Loop" Tour 2026
Ed Sheeran is an award-winning British singer-songwriter who rose to fame in 2011 with his first hit single "The A Team." Since then, many of his songs have reached the top of the charts, including "Shape of You" and "Perfect." His songs blend a mix of pop and folk-pop with relatable lyrics.
Ed Sheeran's past tour, the "+–=÷×" tour (also known as the Mathematics tour), celebrated his various albums (each uniquely titled with mathematical operations, including "Equals" or his newest album, "Subtract") at stadiums filled with fans.
The "Loop"tour supports Sheeran's latest album "Play." The tour brings a new stage, setlist, and tricks.

What Time Does Ed Sheeran Go on Stage?
You might wonder what time Ed Sheeran goes on stage. Check your ticket for show start time. Most shows start at 5:30 p.m., but a few shows start at 8 p.m. Sheeran has an opening act, and some nights may have more than one opener. Ed Sheeran goes on stage after the openers (with breaks in between each act). So the time on stage can vary each night based on the opening acts and start time. His performance is usually about two hours long. A main act typically takes the stage by 8:30 to 9 p.m. but it could be sooner, so don't arrive late.
