FOLLOWING his headline appearance at Glastonbury at the weekend, Ed Sheeran has announced a UK stadium tour including a date in Manchester next year.

The singer songwriter will play the Etihad Stadium on Thursday, May 28. Tickets will go on sale at 10am on Saturday, July 8.

His most recent album Divide is the biggest-selling album of the year thus far, having sold over eight million copies worldwide.

Tickets go on sale from www.edsheeran.com and major ticket agencies.

To combat anyone using secondary ticketing websites for profit. On this tour, any tickets that are resold will not be valid unless they are bought and sold through Ed’s official resale partner, Twickets, which allows fan to fan sales at face value + booking fee only.

On all the stadium dates you will be required to bring your tickets, booking confirmation and credit card, plus a valid form of ID or you will not be granted entry to the show.
