These stadium reveals signify a leap ahead for the British singer-songwriter, graduating from the North American arenas that marked the primary a number of legs of the Divide Tour.

The strides ahead that Sheeran continues to make in North America observe his 2018 successes at European and Australian stadiums, peaking earlier this 12 months with 4 reveals at Melbourne’s Etihad Stadium. There, he delivered his career-best gross, with $20.9 million within the financial institution from a staggering 256,622 tickets bought on Mar. 9-12, 2018.
The Divide Tour started in Turin, Italy on Mar. 16, 2017 and has traveled all over the world and again within the 12 months and a half since. In that point, Sheeran has grossed $290.1 million and bought 3.Three million tickets throughout 149 dates reported up to now.
