Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran is an era-defining artist, who has sold over 160 million albums across the globe. Through his fusion of thought-provoking songwriting, universal pop and multi-genre influence, his rich musical tapestry continues to transcend generations and has seen him become one of the most successful recording artists of all time.

Since surfacing on the UK circuit in 2010 with his ‘No.5 Collaborations Project’ – an eight-track EP featuring his favourite grime artists of the time – the Suffolk-raised recording artist has resonated with fans across the world through his peerless songcraft and versatility. And now, with eight UK No.1 albums to his name – ‘+’ (2011), ‘x’ (2014), ‘÷’ (2017), ‘No.6 Collaborations Project’ (2019), ‘=’ (2021), ‘-’ (2023), ‘Autumn Variations’ (2023) and ‘+ – = ÷ × Tour Collection’ (2025) – Sheeran is gearing-up for the release of his ninth LP ‘Play’ in September.

But it’s not just his recorded music that’s seen the former Glastonbury headliner become one of the sought-after artists of the 21st century. Possessing a mystical ability to turn 90,000 capacity venues into the pub back-rooms that he first started playing in, Ed made history in 2015 after becoming the first-ever artist to play Wembley Stadium solo - without a band, just with his guitar and loop pedal - over three consecutive nights. In 2019, Ed re-entered history books after the completion of his mammoth two-year Divide tour, after it officially became the most-attended tour of all time from (2018-2023). Ed is now on the final phase of his world ‘+ - = ÷ x Tour’ (pronounced ‘The Mathematics Tour’). Ed Sheeran, who was awarded an MBE for his services to music and charity in 2017 and recently hailed as one of Time Magazine’s most influential people in the world, is the proud recipient of 1 x IFPI Award (best-selling global artist of 2017); 1 x BRIT Billion Gold Award; 4 x Grammys; 4 x Ivor Novello’s; 7 x BRIT Awards (including two consecutive wins for ‘Global Success’ in 2018 and 2019); 7 x Billboard Awards + more.

Sheeran’s blockbusting third studio album ‘÷’ remains the fastest-selling album, ever, by a male artist in the UK.
