If you haven’t heard of Sheeran, you must be comfortably residing under a rock. He is one of the biggest names in music today and a prolific hit-maker.
The Grammy Award-winner has a mammoth following worldwide and in Australia, where his debut shows in 2012 sold out in just minutes. His sophomore album x was Australia’s biggest-selling album in 2014 and the following year Sheeran became the first artist to embark on national arena and stadium tours completely solo.
On the x World Tour in 2015 Sheeran broke attendance records across Australia and New Zealand and in 2018 will play even bigger stadiums in Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne, return to Sydney, Brisbane and Auckland, and wrap up the tour with his first ever Dunedin show.
Touring in celebration of his record-breaking and chart-topping third studio album ÷ (pronounced “divide”, out now through Warner Music), Sheeran will perform solo, joined on stage by just a guitar and effect pedals. The talent of this one-man band is an incredible experience to witness – layers of harmonies, rhythms and guitar parts gifted to a crowd of thousands who sing every lyric straight back to Sheeran.
Our first taste of ÷ came in the form of the singles Shape Of You and Castle On The Hill that broke Spotify’s one-day streaming record with a combined 13 million streams in just 24 hours, and debuted at No.1 and No.2 on the ARIA Singles Chart – the first time this has been achieved in the history of the Australian charts.
The album ÷ and its singles have broken global streaming records and chart records in Australia. All 16 tracks from the deluxe version of ÷ have charted in the ARIA Top 40; ÷ was on top of the ARIA Albums Chart for seven weeks and Shape Of You recently notched up a record-breaking 14th week at No.1 on the ARIA Singles Chart.
