On 22 July 2025, Sheeran announced an 11-date Oceanian tour.[1][2] On 28 July, he announced an additional four shows in Australia due to overwhelming demand, bringing the overall number of shows to 15.[3] Before the tour's commencement, Sheeran performed a five-date arena tour across Europe to promote the album.[4][5] On 18 September he announced a 26-date North American tour.[6] In October 2025, Sheeran announced the first set of Latin American concerts for May 2026, and in April 2026 he revealed a second leg scheduled for November and December 2026.[7] As of April 2026, the tour comprises 57 concerts in total, including 17 dates in Oceania, 13 in Latin America, and 27 in North America.[7]

During his set, Macklemore performed the song Hind's Hall and called for a "Free Palestine".[8] He was dropped from the tour in September 2026; he stated that Gillette Stadium owner Robert Kraft had threatened to block the concert if Macklemore was not removed from the tour.[8]
