Background
Sheeran at Øresundsparken in Copenhagen on 3 August 2022

On 17 September 2021, Sheeran announced a 27-date European tour.[4][5] As soon as tickets went on sale, dates were added to several locations across the tour due to overwhelming demand, bringing the overall number of shows to 64.[6] On 15 March 2022, Sheeran announced the Oceania leg of the tour. Tickets are currently scheduled to go on-sale on 23 March 2022.[3] On 22 March 2022, Sheeran added 3 shows to the Oceania leg of the tour; in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne.[7] On 15 June 2022, Sheeran added an additional 3 shows to the Oceania leg of the tour; in Wellington, Auckland, and Brisbane. On 20 September 2022, the additional Wellington show scheduled for 1 February 2023 was canceled citing on-going uncertainties affecting a number of different variables with global touring.[8] In October 2022, Sheeran announced that the North American leg of the tour would occur in 2023.[9] In October 2023, he announced the Asian leg of the tour that would occur in early 2024.[10]

Sheeran brought his family (wife Cherry and daughters Lyra and Jupiter) along on this tour (though they do not appear with him onstage).[11] During early 2022, they all lived together for two months in a rented bungalow in Auckland from which he commuted to the Australia and New Zealand venues.[11] They watched North by Northwest in Peter Jackson's home cinema in Wellington together with Jackson and James Cameron.[11]
