“It was time to Stop, but then we can press Play,” Sheeran said in a social media post
Ed Sheeran‘s +-=÷x (pronounced Mathematics) tour will come to a finale at the end of 2025, after more than three years on the road, the singer confirmed in an announcement posted to Instagram on Friday.
Sheeran will return for more European dates starting on May 30, 2025 at the Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid, Spain, before 12 more stops across Europe including shows in Rome, Oslo, and Copenhagen. His final concert will be at the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Düsseldorf, Germany on Sept. 9. and tickets go on sale July 10 on Sheeran’s website. The singer indicated he’d announce more dates later but was scant on details beyond the European shows as of press time.
“Gonna be hitting most of the other places we haven’t been to yet, but the first dates to go up will be the rest of Europe, more to follow, but European dates on sale July 10th (Rome July 12th), see you next year,” Sheeran wrote on social media. “It was time to Stop, but then we can press Play…”
The singer-songwriter first started the Mathematics tour in April of 2022 in Dublin and played his way through much of Europe, Australia, and New Zealand before hitting much of the U.S. from April through October of 2023. According to trade publication Pollstar, the Mathematics tour was the seventh-highest grossing tour of 2023, amassing over $268 million on 54 shows. Sheeran’s previous Divide tour was at one point the highest grossing concert tour of all time, but has since been eclipsed by tours from Taylor Swift, Elton John, and Coldplay.
