On a day top-loaded with major concert announcements, the Milwaukee Brewers have now announced that Ed Sheeran will perform at Miller Park on Tuesday, Oct. 23 as part of the British singer/songwriter's first North American stadium tour.
Our Carolynn Buser reviewed his one and only sold-out Milwaukee appearance at Summerfest in 2005 prior to Miller Park. You can read her delight in the night here.
Tickets for the show go on sale Friday, Feb. 16 at 10 a.m. A presale is open now through Thursday, Feb. 8 at 9 p.m., via Ticketmaster. You can find presale details here.
Sheeran has won four Grammy awards and has three multi-platinum records under his belt.
According to a Brewers tweet, Sheeran is willing to work with the team to reschedule the concert if the Crew makes it to the postseason and there is a conflict.
Good question! We hope that's the case!
Thankfully, Ed Sheeran and his tour group have been awesome to work with, so if a deep Brewers Postseason run happens (🤞), Ed has agreed to come back at a later date in 2018 to perform at Miller Park. https://t.co/Q42l6q1V0P — Milwaukee Brewers (@Brewers) February 6, 2018
