The x Tour is the second world concert tour by English singer-songwriter and musician Ed Sheeran in support of his second album x (2014). The tour began in Osaka, Japan on August 6, 2014 and will continue through Europe, the Americas, Oceania and Asia until September 2015, where the tour will end in Washington, D.C.. So far, Sheeran has planned 172 shows.

Background

Throughout 2013, Sheeran supported Taylor Swift on her North American Red Tour, as well as performing throughout the show itself. He also featured on her single "Everything Has Changed", which was promoted at the Summertime Ball and final of Britain's Got Talent. Whilst touring, he began recording his second studio album, x. The album was preceded by the lead single, "Sing", which reached number 1 in the UK. The album, released on June 20, 2014, received critical acclaim, and Sheeran performed at series of festivals in 2014, including Glastonbury Festival, T in the Park and Southside Festival. On April 14, 2014, following a performance on Saturday Night Live, Sheeran announced his first ever North American arena tour. Beginning in Seattle, the 15-date tour would travel all around North America.[1] Due to demand, three dates were added to the tour (one date at the SAP Center at San Jose and two dates at the Staples Center in Los Angeles). The entire tour sold out.
