As Ed Sheeran promised, he’s announced something “that is basically the start of the next three years of my life.” The superstar has unveiled the routing for the first leg of his next tour, with stadium dates in the U.K. and Europe scheduled April through September 2022. Sheeran noted on Twitter that he’s “excited to be back at it.” 

In other news, Sheeran is also celebrating the success of his latest single, “Shivers.” He retweeted a post from Official Charts that announced the singer/songwriter has “replaced himself at Number 1 as ‘Shivers’ overthrows ‘Bad Habits’ to become the British megastar’s eighth chart topper on the Official Irish Singles Chart.”
The singles both hail from Sheeran’s upcoming album = (pronounced “equals”), which is due out Oct. 29 on Asylum / Atlantic. 
“I really don’t take this for granted this far into my career,” Sheeran tweeted. “I’ve never knocked myself off of number one before, this is crazy. Thank you for all the love, and Ireland where it’s just gone to #1 too. Can’t wait to play all these on tour x” 
The U.K./European trek kicks off April 28 in Cork, Ireland at Páirc Uí Chaoimh. The routing includes three nights at London’s Wembley Stadium, two nights at Johan Cruijff ArenA in Amsterdam and two nights at Hampden Park in Glasgow. 
Tickets go on sale Sept. 25. Sheeran says fans should check his “website for on sale times & more info. You will need an account with one of the official ticket vendors so please sign up in advance x” 
Sheeran’s “Divide” Tour, which concluded Aug. 26, 2019, set the record for highest-grossing tour, logging $775.6 million on 8.9 million tickets at 255 performances over two-and-a-half years. The previous record was held by U2. 
The final show was one of four held at Chantry Park in Ipswich, England, near Sheeran’s hometown. That four-night stand grossed $12.9 million on 139,984 tickets.
