British singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran will return to Minneapolis Aug. 15 to headline U.S. Bank Stadium for the third time.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Sept. 26 through Ticketmaster. Fans can register at edsheeran.com for early access to tickets. American Express cardholders have access to presale tickets starting at noon Sept. 23.
Sheeran, 34, is a true global phenomenon. More than two dozen of his singles have gone multi-platinum in the U.S., Canada, Australia and across Europe. His 2014 smash “Thinking Out Loud,” which went platinum 18 times over in the States, spent an entire year in the British Top 40 and won Sheeran his first two of a total of four Grammys.
For most of his career, Sheeran has performed his concerts alone, using a series of effects pedals and other technology to create a bed of sound that he sings, and raps, over. On his 2023 tour, he used a band for the first time for about a third of the set. His upcoming outing is dubbed the Loop Tour, which suggests he’ll return to performing solo.
On Friday, Sheeran released his eighth album, “Play.” He wrote and recorded it with a series of musicians and producers from around the world, including Ilya, Blake Slatkin, Cirkut, Omer Fedi, Savan Kotecha, Elvira Anderfjärd and Johnny McDaid.
Sheeran sold out Target Center in 2014 and did the same at Xcel Energy Center in 2015 and 2017. The following year, he drew a capacity crowd of nearly 50,000 to U.S. Bank Stadium.
He returned to USBS in 2023 and set a new attendance record of 72,102 thanks to his in-the-round stage, which allowed the venue to sell seats around the entire bowl. (Previous record-holder Garth Brooks also played on a considerably smaller in-the-round stage but had seats on the floor. It was general admission for Sheeran.)
