SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) -- Global pop superstar Ed Sheeran is bringing his highly anticipated "LOOP Tour" to San Diego’s Petco Park next summer as part of a newly announced North American stadium leg.

The announcement dropped Thursday following Sheeran’s surprise TikTok pop-up show in New York over the weekend, where he teased the North American extension of his worldwide tour.
The "LOOP Tour" will kick off on June 13, 2026, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, and hit major cities across the U.S. and Canada, including stops at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, and Rogers Centre in Toronto. The tour will wrap up on Nov. 7, 2026, in Tampa, Florida.
San Diego fans can expect an all-new stage design and a setlist featuring music from Sheeran’s latest album "Play," released just last week. The new project has already been hailed by "Billboard" as “a brand new era,” while "USA Today" praised its emotional depth and global influences. "Play" marks Sheeran’s bold departure from his hit-making "Mathematics" era, which broke global attendance records before concluding earlier this year.
In addition to fresh tracks, the "LOOP Tour" promises classic fan favorites, delivering a career-spanning experience that celebrates Sheeran’s evolution as an artist.
