Ed Sheeran to play at State Theatre the night before U.S. Bank Stadium tour stop
MINNEAPOLIS -- Ed Sheeran will perform at the State Theatre this summer, the night before playing a bigger show at the U.S. Bank Stadium.
The State Theatre show is scheduled for Aug. 11, with support from singer-songwriter Ben Kweller. Sheeran is making an effort to put on more "intimate" performances side-by-side with his bigger stadium shows during his tour this summer.
The tour supports Sheeran's new "soul-baring" album "--," which will be released on May 5. The singles "Boat" and "Eyes Closed" from the album were released last week, marking Sheeran's 14th song hitting #1 in the United Kingdom.
The State Theatre performance will use Ticketmaster's Verified Fan technology, which helps filter out resellers. Registration opens on Friday at 9 a.m. and closes on Sunday at 11 p.m. To enter, click here. The sale begins on Tuesday at 10 a.m.
