British musician Ed Sheeran is coming to India in 2025 for his biggest-ever tour of the country! He is bringing his Mathematics Tour back to India with performances planned in six cities, the organisers announced on Friday.
The announcement comes after a sold-out show in Mumbai in March this year, where Sheeran promised fans he would return soon to the country.
Delivering on the promise, the musician is set to embark on his most expansive tour of the country to date, beginning in Pune on January 30, followed by Hyderabad on February 2, Chennai on February 5 and Bengaluru on February 8. Sheeran will then perform in Shillong on February 12 before concluding in Delhi NCR on February 15.
While the 33-year-old global star performed in Mumbai earlier this year, the city is not included in his 2025 tour.

Taking to Instagram, Sheeran wrote, "Coming back to India for my biggest ever tour of your beautiful country," adding that he will also perform in Bhutan for the first time and Qatar for the first time in a decade.
The Mathematics Tour 2025 in India is promoted by AEG Presents Asia and BookMyShow Live. Each performance promises an intimate experience with the British artist in his purest form armed with only his guitar and Loopstation.
"The 2025 India tour promises to deliver an intimate and electrifying concert experience, focusing on close-up performances that showcase Sheeran's raw talent and deep connection with his fans. A more traditional stage design will complement Sheeran's captivating storytelling front and centre, highlighting his soulful vocals, acoustic brilliance and heartfelt lyrics," said the organisers.
Tickets for the tour will be on sale on December 11, 2024 and be available on BookMyShow and Sheeran's official website.
The tour will draw from all of his albums since 2011, starting with "Plus", "Multiply" (2014), "Divide" (2017), "Equals" (2021) and "Subtract" (2023). The tour also includes a song from 2019's "No. 6 Collaborations Project".
Sheeran had first performed in Mumbai in 2015 and had returned to the city with another performance in 2017.
