Ed Sheeran announces UK & Ireland arena tour

English singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran has today announced a full UK & Ireland arena tour for October 2014. The 'A-Team' star hasn't toured the UK since the beginning of 2013, so it will be a welcomed surprise for his fans, with tickets on pre-sale from Wednesday at 9am (sign up HERE) and general sale from 9am on Friday. Expect this to sell out fast, especially with Sheeran's second album now confirmed to be out before this tour starts. Full list of dates after the jump...
