Beloved British phenomenon Ed Sheeran brings his soulful acoustic pop to Mohegan Sun Arena on Saturday 23rd May! Embarking on his first ever headlining tour of the states, the "Thinking Out Loud" singer/songwriter looks set to win the hearts of North America following his stunning performance at the 2015 Grammy Awards and the release of his celebrated second album X.

British singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran has been hailed as an “overnight success”. Raised in a musical household, he cut his teeth in small venues and open mic nights around London. After heading out on tour as support for rapper Example, and a brief stint in LA, he started to gain attention from high profile artists such as Jamie Foxx and Elton John. His 2011 independent EP No. 5 Collaborations Project reached number two in the iTunes Chart, selling 7000 copies in its first week without promotion or label backing. His debut studio album + was certified quintuple platinum in the UK and caught the attention of Taylor Swift, who asked Sheeran to appear on her 4th studio album Red. His second studio album x charted at number one in the UK Albums Chart and the US Billboard 200, and was nominated for Album of the Year at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards.
