Due to Overwhelming Demand, Second Ed Sheeran Show Added at Verizon Center on September 20

Tickets go on sale March 24 at 10 AM

Multiple GRAMMY® Award-winning global superstar Ed Sheeran recently announced details for his North American arena tour. Due to overwhelming demand, a second show has been added at Verizon Center on September 20th. Tickets go on sale March 24 at 10 AM at Ticketmaster.com.

The tour celebrates Sheeran’s landmark third studio album, “÷.” The album (pronounced “divide”) includes the universal hit singles, “Shape of You” and “Castle on the Hill,” both of which made incredible chart entries after their simultaneous January release. “Shape of You” debuted at #1 on Billboard’s “Hot 100” - Sheeran’s first time atop the overall chart - and has remained there for six weeks total thus far. Meanwhile, “Castle On The Hill” entered the “Hot 100” at #6, establishing Sheeran as the first artist to ever have two singles make simultaneous top 10 debuts in the chart’s 58-year history. “Shape of You” was quickly certified 2x-platinum by the RIAA, while “Castle on the Hill” earned gold - the first two songs released in 2017 to achieve RIAA certifications this year.


“Shape of You” is currently #1 at both CHR/Top 40 and Hot AC radio outlets nationwide while also continuing to rule the top spot on iTunes’ “Top Songs” chart and Spotify’s “Top 50” (both Global and U.S.). The song’s official companion video - directed by MTV Video Music Award winner Jason Koenig - is further achieving record-shattering numbers of its own, with individual views in excess of 300 million at Sheeran’s official YouTube alone.
