Ed Sheeran has announced details of some new warm up shows ahead of his UK and European tour later this year.
Sheeran will play two gigs in Brighton, followed by five new London shows. Tickets are available here.
Speaking about the new dates, Sheeran said: “I’m going to be doing some warm up shows for my tour in the next few weeks.
“These are very low key shows where I get to try out all the new tunes before taking them into the stadiums. Some nights there will be mistakes. But that is where the fun starts.”

On February 8, Sheeran teamed up with the metal group for a reworked version of his 2021 track ‘Bad Habits’ to open the BRIT Awards 2022.
The pair also teased a studio release of the song, after Bring Me The Horizon’s Oli Sykes shared a FaceTime call he had with Sheeran in which the pair discuss their live performance and an upcoming release of the song.
That version arrived earlier today (February 17), with the pair releasing an alternative studio version of ‘Bad Habits’.
Speaking about the new track, Sheeran said: “I really enjoyed the show last week and I think people will really like the new version. Excited to get it out.”
Bring Me The Horizon’s Oli Sykes added: “From receiving the email asking whether we’d like to open the brits with Ed Sheeran to us chatting and bouncing ideas to rehearsing and then performing and now releasing, this has needless to say been pretty mental.
“But we are all about pushing the boundaries of our own and other genres, so this felt like the perfect challenge.”
Released in June 2021, the original version of ‘Bad Habits’ spent 11 consecutive weeks at the top of the UK chart, becoming the longest-running consecutive Number One of last year.
