The global star revealed earlier in September that he will play the home of the Black Cats for two nights on Friday, June 3 and Saturday, June 4, 2022 – which will be a Bank Holiday weekend to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

Now Thursday June 2 – also a bank holiday – has been added as an extra date on the North East leg of his tour.

A tweet from the Stadium of Light said: “Due to an incredibly popular demand, Ed Sheeran will play a third night at the Stadium of Light on Bank Holiday Thursday 2 June, with tickets on sale from 9am tomorrow.”

Tickets went on sale on Saturday, September 25, for the original two dates.
