Superstar singer Ed Sheeran has revealed that he will be coming to Newcastle for a stadium concert tour date at St James' Park.

The singer, who closed Glastonbury 2017 just three nights ago, took to Twitter and Instagram on Tuesday to say he was announcing a tour of UK and European stadia.

Sheeran posted: "Announcing UK and Europe stadium tour tomorrow."

He has now done that and St James' Park will be the destination for Ed Sheeran on Friday, June 8, 2018. Tickets will be on sale in July.

He has also announced dates for Cork, Belfast, Galway, Dublin, Manchester, Glasgow, London and Cardiff.

Sheeran last played Newcastle in April, for two sold-out shows at the Metro Radio Arena, where he performed despite battling man flu .

It’s clear Ed Sheeran is a huge fan himself of playing in the North East.
