Ed Sheeran fired up his massive LOOP Tour on Saturday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, launching a 27-date North American stadium run. The trek stretches coast to coast and is set to wrap at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa on November 7. Sheeran is rolling out the tour with a rotating lineup of support acts and a stadium-sized production built to spotlight new songs from his latest record Play alongside career-spanning hits.
Routing and official announcement
The official tour page lists 27 North American dates, charting the route from the Glendale opener through a slate of summer stadiums to a November 7 finale in Tampa, according to EdSheeran.com. A press release from Atlantic Records first confirmed the North American leg when the run was announced last September.
Tickets, resellers and fan protection
Seats for many dates are already popping up on secondary marketplaces. StubHub’s FanProtect policy can provide a 120% credit if an event is canceled, and SeatGeek has promoted a SEATGEEK10 code for $10 off first orders over $150, as reported by Consequence. Fans should tread carefully when buying outside verified channels and double-check each venue’s official ticketing app for access details and mobile-only ticket rules.
Rotating openers and city-specific bills
Support acts scheduled across the run include Amble, Aaron Rowe, Myles Smith, Ellie Banke, Sigrid, Lukas Graham, BIIRD and Macklemore, with different combinations appearing in different cities, per EdSheeran.com. Expect leaner one-opener bills at amphitheaters and more stacked lineups at the stadium stops, where the production is tailored to scale up Sheeran’s loop-driven show for the bigger rooms.
Special nights and album context
For the July 18 Las Vegas date at Allegiant Stadium, Sheeran teamed with Flavor Flav’s “She Got Game” weekend to offer free tickets to members of the U.S. women’s Winter Olympic and Paralympic teams, according to Consequence. The LOOP Tour is in support of Sheeran’s album Play, which debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and has been a centerpiece of both the setlist and the production rollout, per chart-week coverage in Hypebeast.
Whether you are angling for a hometown date or planning a full-on stadium pilgrimage, the LOOP Tour is shaping up to be one of 2026’s biggest live runs. Check official ticketing channels and the artist’s tour page for the latest on access, ADA accommodations and presales, and watch how the rotating supports and production evolve as the tour moves east toward Tampa this fall.
