Ed Sheeran is a name that is known by pop music lovers all over the world. The British singer-songwriter has been releasing hit after hit for over a decade, and his popularity shows no signs of waning. Recently, Sheeran announced the “- Tour” (pronounced “Subtract Tour”), which is a series of theater and auditorium performances set to take place in 14 cities across North America. These shows will take place in between dates on his massive stadium tour, the “+ – = ÷ x Tour” (pronounced “Mathematics Tour”).
Ed Sheeran’s upcoming theater tour will offer an intimate performance at the Paramount Theatre on August 25th, a day before his grand stadium show at Lumen Field. To ensure that his fans have a fair chance at getting tickets, Sheeran has decided to use Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan technology for the theater dates, which combats scalping. The Verified Fan registration opened today, April 28 and will end on Sunday, April 30. The Verified Fan on-sale is scheduled to start on Tuesday, May 2 at 10 a.m. local venue time. To get a chance to purchase tickets on May 2 at 10 AM local time, fans can sign up for Verified Fan until Sunday, April 30 at 11:59 PM ET by visiting https://verifiedfan.ticketmaster.com/subtracttour2023.
Ed Sheeran’s upcoming “- Tour” will serve as a support for his new album Subtract ( – ), which is set to be released on May 5 via Atlantic Records. This fourteen-track album was written and recorded by Sheeran with Aaron Dessner of The National, after a series of life impacting personal events. Known for his deeply personal lyrics, fans are excited for the release of this new album and to see Sheeran’s creative growth.
Ed Sheeran’s upcoming “- Tour” will be sandwiched between dates on his enormous stadium tour, the “+ – = ÷ x Tour.” Although there are still some available tickets for his August 26th Lumen Field show, the majority of the remaining seats are located in the stadium’s 300 level. Sheeran’s concerts are known for their energetic atmosphere, and his stadium performances are considered a must-see spectacle.
In addition to the album release, fans can also look forward to a four-part documentary on Sheeran’s life, called Ed Sheeran: The Sum of It All. This documentary will provide an inside look into his life, creative process, and the making of the album. The Sum of It All is divided into four parts: “Love,” “Loss,” “Balance” and “Life.” Starting on May 3, fans can stream this new documentary on Disney+.
While Ed Sheeran is gearing up for his new album release and theater tour, he has been in court in New York City this week for the long-standing copyright trial over his hit song “Thinking Out Loud” and Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On.” Sheeran has always been vocal about his musical influences, and the outcome of the trial could have implications for how artists can use previous works as inspiration. The case highlights the ongoing debate in the music industry over what constitutes copyright infringement and how to strike a balance between protecting artists’ intellectual property rights while also allowing for creative freedom. Sheeran’s testimony in the case and the trial’s verdict will be closely watched by the music community.
Ed Sheeran has come a long way since his days performing in small venues across the UK. He has become a global superstar, and his music has touched the lives of millions. The “- Tour” is a chance for fans to see Sheeran in a more intimate setting, and to experience his music in a way that they may not have before. With a new album on the way and a documentary to accompany it, it’s clear that Sheeran has no plans of slowing down any time soon.
