The tour will see Ed Sheeran return to Belfast’s Odyssey arena on Wednesday, October 8.

Ed Sheeran’s second album will be released during 2014.

Masterfully blending soulful vocals with organic folk introspection and irresistible hip-hop hooks, Ed Sheeran has enjoyed a meteoric rise. The 22-year old’s debut ‘+’ entered the U.K. Albums Chart at Number One with the highest opening week figures for a debut male solo artist ever and is now certified six times platinum in the UK.

The singer/songwriter is also a two-time BRIT Award winner (Best Male Artist, Best Breakthrough Artist), recipient of an Ivor Novello Award for ‘Best Song Musically and Lyrically’ for A Team and has gone on to become a genuine global phenomenon.

‘+’ has enjoyed multi-platinum, platinum, and gold sales in different countries, including the US where A-Team has been certified two times platinum and received a prestigious Song Of The Year Grammy nomination.

His ever-growing stateside fan base has resulted in back-to-back, sold-out headlining tours of North America. After hitting arenas and stadiums around the country as main support on Taylor Swift’s North American RED Tour, Sheeran returned to New York City for a trio of sold-out headlining shows at the world-famous Madison Square Garden.

Sheeran wrote, produced, and recorded “I See Fire,” an original song for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.”
