The shape of Ed Sheeran’s Southeast Asia tour is getting clearer everyday, Sheerios.
First we learned from Ed’s manager Stuart Camp that the North American dates of the Γ· Tour (Divide Tour) will be announced in March and Southeast Asian datesΒ “around the same time” or in “March at [the] earliest”.
Pinning this….North America announces in March. SE Asia around same time. No extra Euro tour dates for this year. Thanks

When can we expect to see our favourite ginger in the flesh, you ask? Camp’s got you covered.
@ViktoriaTsindel no. Oct/Nov

Which means the US/Canada tour will take place in the summer before Ed’s year wraps up in our embrace.
@badavss no. We do America (north and south) then SE Asia and that’s our year…

As to where the SuffolkΒ singer will be performing, we’ll have to wait for the big announcement. So far the only city confirmed, albeit verbally, is Kuala Lumpur. In a recent interview Ed did in Japan with ERA FM weekend announcer Jaa Suzuran, he revealed some good news to Malaysian fans, βThank you so much to everyone in Malaysia. I will see you soon. I think Iβm coming back to Kuala Lumpur end of this year.”

Ed last performed in Malaysia in March 2015 for his x Tour. He also played sold-out shows in Mumbai, Seoul, Shanghai Hong Kong, Manila and Singapore.

Hopefully, more Southeast Asian stops will be announced now that the region has a tour leg all to itself. Start saving up, folks. Your city might just be on the official schedule in a few weeks.

Update (Apr 17):Β In a video uploaded by Philippines Concerts yesterday (filmed in the same room as the above interview) Ed tells Filipino fans, “I’ll see you all soon,” after revealing the Philippines is his biggest market in the world. Well done, Sheerios!
