Thousands of fans are eagerly awaiting multiple GRAMMY® Award-winning musician Ed Sheeran's concert at the Levi’s® Stadium on September 16, celebrating the North American leg of his "+ – = ÷ x Tour," also known as "The Mathematics Tour." As reported by the City of Santa Clara, Sheeran's performance will kick off at 6 p.m., with top-notch opening acts Russ, and Maisie Peters primed to warm up the crowd.

According to Levi’s® Stadium, this leg of the tour marks Sheeran's return to stadiums across the continent since his record-setting "Divide Tour" back in 2018, which saw the highest-grossing and most-attended concerts in history. As the anticipation rises among fans, the Santa Clara Police Department gears up to deal with the upcoming traffic surge.

In preparation for not just the influx of concertgoers, but also the strains it will place on traffic and parking, the Santa Clara Police Department has announced a Traffic Advisory, as mentioned by the City of Santa Clara. To be distributed 48 hours prior to the event, it will include details on parking restrictions, road closures, alternate routes, and other essential information for those planning to attend or to steer clear of the area. For those interested in staying updated, subscription to Nixle or visiting www.scpd.org is advised.

Fans of the English singer-songwriter have been quick to note that Sheeran has partnered with Ticketmaster to offer a #VerifiedFan system, protecting access to tickets for his devoted followers. As Levi’s® Stadium disclosed, registration opened back in early October and lasted for a week, with the Verified Fan Presale taking place on October 12 and general public sales commencing on October 14.
