Global superstar Ed Sheeran’s eagerly anticipated return to the Middle East has been met with huge enthusiasm with the second night of his record-breaking ‘+ – = ÷ x’ tour in Dubai already sold out.
Last month, the multi record-breaking singer songwriter announced what will be Dubai’s biggest-ever open-air concerts, with two consecutive shows on the 19th and 20th January – his first performances in the Middle East since 2017.
Presented by All Things Live and AEG Presents and supported by Dubai Calendar and Coca-Cola Arena, both concerts will take place at the Sevens Stadium, where more than 60,000 fans will be serenaded by the popstar in his signature in-the-round format featuring a 360-degree central stage.
Sheeran, who is expected to perform all his biggest hits, including ‘Shape of You,’ ‘Shivers’ and ‘Bad Habits’, will be supported on both nights by fellow Brit Calum Scott.
The ‘+ – = ÷ x’ Asia, Middle East and Europe Tour 2024 follows Sheeran’s hugely successful USA leg, which set record-breaking attendances at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium and New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium, where the talented performer secured the largest single-day concert attendance in USA history.
