Ed Sheeran Announces 2023 North American Tour Dates
Ed Sheeran has announced a handful of North American tour dates for 2023, marking the UK pop star’s first trek across the continent in five years. It’s in support of his latest album, 2021’s ‘=‘ and will also hear him play songs from his back catalog. Khalid, Russ, Dylan, Rosa Linn, Cat Burns, and Maisie Peters are joining him as supporting acts.
“+ – = ÷ x Tour” — pronounced “The Mathematics Tour” — kicks off on May 6th at Arlington, Texas’ AT&T Stadium. Sheeran will then hit stadiums across North America including Atlanta, Toronto, Nashville, Chicago, Minneapolis, Vancouver, and Las Vegas before wrapping up at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California on September 23rd.
In other news, Sheeran will enter his third set of court proceedings over his songwriting, with the musician set to face a jury trial following a suit from a stakeholder in the estate of Marvin Gaye‘s co-writer.
The ruling came last month (September 29) from Judge Louis Stanton, a senior district judge for the Southern District of New York. Per Billboard, the case will determine whether Sheeran’s hit single ‘Thinking Out Loud’ is in breach of copyright due to its similarities with Gaye’s 1973 single ‘Let’s Get It On’.
The suit came from Structured Asset Sales, a company that owns a stake in the copyrights of the estate of Ed Townsend – a co-writer on ‘Let’s Get It On’. It was originally filed back in 2016, with a decision regarding jury involvement coming in 2019.
