The Headliner & Opening Acts
🎤 Ed Sheeran — Headliner
The English singer-songwriter behind "Shape of You," "Perfect," and "Thinking Out Loud" — one of the best-selling and most-streamed artists in the world. The LOOP Tour is built around his solo loop-pedal performance on an in-the-round stage, so every seat in the house faces the action.
🎧 Macklemore
Confirmed opening act. The Grammy-winning Seattle rapper behind "Thrift Shop" and "Can't Hold Us" brings a high-energy, crowd-moving set to warm up the stadium.
🎹 Lukas Graham
Confirmed opening act. The Danish band behind the global smash "7 Years" delivers soulful, anthemic pop — a fitting build-up to the headliner.
🎸 Aaron Rowe
Confirmed opening act getting the night started. With music at 8:00 PM CT, the support sets begin promptly — arrive early so you don't miss the openers.
What to Expect from the LOOP Tour
🔁 Signature Loop-Pedal Solo Show
No backing band — just Ed Sheeran, a guitar, and his loop pedal, layering beats, harmonies, and riffs live in front of you. It's the setup that made his name, now scaled to fill a stadium.
🎯 In-the-Round Stage
The LOOP Tour is staged in the round, with the stage in the center of the floor and the crowd on all sides. Expect a 360-degree production and a genuinely close view from every section of AT&T Stadium.
🎵 Expected Fan Favorites
The official setlist isn't confirmed, but widely loved songs such as "Shape of You," "Perfect," "Thinking Out Loud," "Bad Habits," and "Castle on the Hill" are the kind of favorites fans hope to hear. Treat any song list as expected, not official.
