Ed Sheeran hasofficially just announced he'll be heading out on tour this year in March across the UK & Ireland, Europe, Mexico and Central & South America.

First revealed during our Facebook Live interview last week, Ed, his guitar and loop pedals,will kick off the tour in Italy on 17th March in Turin, just two weeks after the release of his highly anticipated third album ÷('Divide') on 3rd March.

The 'Shape Of You' hit maker will land in the UK on 19th April in Newcastle taking in dates in Manchester, Nottingham, Birmingham and two dates at London's O2 Arena on 1st and 2nd May. Yay!

It will be Ed's first shows in the captial since his record-breaking stint at Wembley Stadium in 2015.

General ticket sale will commence on Thursday 2nd February at 10am GMT in the UK & Ireland and Europe with a limited number of tickets being made available through Ed's website on 31st January at 10am.

Speaking of record breaking, Ed became the first artist to debut at Number 1 and Number 2 on the Official UK Singles Chart with two brand new songs earlier this month when he dropped 'Shape Of You' and 'Castle On The Hill'.

Earlier this week Ed premiered the music video for 'Castle On The Hill' featuring a ridiculously good lookalike. So much so, we got on the phone and asked the teenage actor all about it. Read all about that here.

In the meantime start planning where you're going to see Ed here...
