Who is supporting Ed Sheeran on tour this year?
Described by Sheeran as a ‘killer lineup’, the singer will be joined on stage by support acts, Myles Smith and Tori Kelly, at the first show on July 11.
The following night will see Busted and Dylan support, before James Blunt and Maisie Peters take over on the final evening. In a recent Instagram post, Sheeran said that Blunt inspired his career in music, as he wrote: "One of the first ever concerts I went to as a kid was at Ipswich Town Portman Road to see Elton John. James Blunt opened for him, and I got so obsessed with James's music, it really shaped me as a singer songwriter from then on.
"This really is a true homecoming, and is three nights only. It’ll be such a special weekend of shows, with a killer line up (shout-out @jamesblunt for coming back and completing the circle)."
