PHOENIX – English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran will kick off the North American leg of his upcoming world tour with a rare stop in Arizona.

After previously announced dates in Europe, New Zealand and Australia, Sheeran will bring the Loop Tour to State Farm Stadium in Glendale on June 13, 2026.

It will be the affable Brit’s first performance in Arizona since a concert at the Glendale venue now known as Desert Diamond Arena in August 2017, according to setlist.fm.

The North American leg announcement comes a week after Sheeran released his eighth studio album, “Play.”

Sheeran’s top hits include “Shape of You” and “Perfect,” both of which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. He’s been nominated for 17 Grammy Awards and won four times.
