Ed Sheeran Reveals His ‘Subtract Tour,’ Overlapping With His North American ‘Mathematics Tour’ Leg

Ed Sheeran has a lot going on. That might seem like an overly obvious sentence about one of the world’s most prevalent pop stars, but he really has a lot going on right now.

This week, Sheeran has been testifying against copyright infringement allegations involving Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On” and Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud,” and he even serenaded the New York courtroom in an effort to prove his innocence.

Next week, Sheeran will drop Subtract, his sixth studio album that already boasts the incredibly vulnerable singles “Eyes Closed” and “Boat.” The release will be accompanied by a four-part original Disney+ documentary series, The Sum Of It All.

And later in May, Sheeran will set out on his Subtract Tour. The 14-date North American trek was announced today, April 28.

“I’m playing some smaller theatre shows in the US this summer, so I can play Subtract the entire way through with full band in an intimate setting,” Sheeran posted to Instagram.

Per press release, Sheeran “is using Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan technology,” and registration has already begun this morning. Verified Fan registration will be open here until Sunday, April 30, at 11:59 p.m. EST. The Verified Fan onsale is scheduled for Tuesday, May 2, at 10 a.m. local time.

Sheeran’s Subtract Tour overlaps with the North American leg of Sheeran’s Mathematics Tour. The Subtracts Tour will feature Ben Kweller as the supporting act “on most dates,” while the Mathematics Tour will oscillate between Khalid, Russ, Dylan, Rosa Linn, Cat Burns, and Maisie Peters as the openers.
