Following his intimate storytellers gig at Dublin’s Whelans, Ed Sheeran has decided to extend his string of live dates from the three Wembley shows and has announced a headline concert in Croke Park.
Originally planning his three sold out Wembley dates as his last live activity for a year while he lays low to create his third studio album, the songster is fitting in a concert at the iconic Croke Park two weeks after Wembley.
“Wembley was meant to be the last thing I did but Croke Park will be the last thing I do for a year. I just want to make the third album and make sure the third album is good. I don’t want to release songs that are sub-standard.”
– Ed Sheeran
Announcing it on RTE2fm this morning with Ryan Tubridy, Croke Park will welcome Ed Sheeran on July 24th.
Tickets go on sale this Thursday, February 26th at 9am.
