Multiple GRAMMY Award-winning, global superstar Ed Sheeran announced on Friday that he is adding a second Gillette Stadium show to his “+ – = ÷ x Tour” (pronounced “The Mathematics Tour”) to meet the demand of his New England fanbase and will now perform at the home of the New England Patriots and Revolution on June 30 and July 1, 2023. 

Sheeran will return to Gillette Stadium, the first NFL stadium he ever headlined, for the first time since 2018 and his sixth and seventh performances overall. He will be joined in Foxborough by multi-platinum artist Khalid and Rosa Linn.

To ensure that his fans have the best chance at getting tickets for the newly announced June 30 show, Ed Sheeran is partnering with Ticketmaster to use the #VerifiedFan system. The Verified Fan Presale is set to begin on Tuesday, Oct. 18 at 10 a.m. and run through Wednesday, October 19 at 10 p.m. The general public on-sale is Thursday, Oct. 20 at 10 a.m.
