Ed Sheeran tour: Pop star to perform at Coventry Building Society Arena in run of shows in December after 'Play' album release

It has just been announced that Ed Sheeran will be performing at Coventry’s football stadium in December.

Ed Sheeran will be performing at Coventry Building Society Arena on Friday 5 December. The CBS Arena wrote on Instagram: “Ahead of the release of his new album Play, Ed Sheeran has announced a run of arena shows for December 2025. The upcoming shows will be a rare chance to see stadium-selling Ed Sheeran in more intimate venues ahead of his all-new Loop stadium tour.

“Pre-order Ed Sheeran’s new album ‘Play’ on CD or vinyl on Amazon.co.uk, by 7pm BST on Sunday 7 September and you’ll receive access to the planet.fans pre-sale. You then have until Monday 8 September to register for pre-sale tickets.”

The ‘Perfect’ singer will be releasing his eighth studio album in September this year, and dropped the album's first single, 'Azizam', on April 4. The 34-year-old officially revealed his title plans for his next album (and seemingly future releases too) during an appearance on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon in March 2025.
