SHEERAN HITS THE GROUND RUNNING

Ed Sheeran has bolstered his worldwide tour with 48 North American dates in support of his smash third album, ÷ (Divide). Intriguingly, the U.K. dates don't clash with Glastonbury Festival, which takes place from 6/21-25, where Sheeran is rumored to be the final headliner yet to be announced.

The tour kicks off in Italy on 3/17, taking in a number of European dates before heading to the U.K, then South America, Central America and Mexico through May and June, ending on 6/14. The North American run starts on 6/29 in Kansas City, ending on 10/6 in Nashville.

Promoted in his home country of Blighty by Killimanjaro Live, the Atlantic star will play seven U.K. arenas across fourteen dates from 4/12-5/2, including two at the 20k-capacity London O2 Arena. Check out the full list here and the North American dates here.
