Catch Ed Sheeran on the Loop Tour this summer in Denver! Check him out at Empower Field on the Fourth of July!

After closing the chapter on his Mathematics series, Sheeran is stepping boldly into a fresh new phase for 2025. An artist who is constantly evolving, Play finds Sheeran exploring new musical ground through collaboration with producers and musicians from across the globe, as well as diving deeper into the timeless sounds and themes that have made him one of the world’s best-loved pop artists.

Inspired in part by his exposure to Indian and Persian musical cultures – and their surprising connections to the Irish folk tradition he grew up with through shared scales, rhythms, and melodies – he has explored a borderless musical language that has given the album a fresh, distinctive edge. On more familiar ground, Sheeran reminds us why he remains one of the most influential singer-songwriters of his generation, as he delivers a series of tracks that speak to his wholehearted balladry. The result is a collection that plays with both the familiar and new, creating an exciting, bold, pop-driven sound that feels transformative.
