Just last week, we bid Coldplay farewell after their epic six-night-long tour in Singapore. However, that doesn’t mean it’s time to rest just yet because another highly-anticipated show is coming right up – Ed Sheeran is about to take the stage at the National Stadium next Friday!
The British singer-songwriter will be performing not just one, but two shows in Singapore at different venues. For the Sheerios (apparently what Ed Sheeran’s fans are called) that managed to secure tickets to his + - = ÷ x Tour in Singapore, we’ve gone ahead to make your life easier by gathering all the necessary information you would need to know before the show. All that’s left on your part is deciding your outfit, and perhaps to practise singing along to Ed’s predicted setlist.

When is Ed Sheeran performing in Singapore?
Ed Sheeran will be performing on February 16 at the National Stadium, as well as February 17, at the Capitol Theatre.
Are there still tickets?
There are still single seats left for his show on February 16, priced at $488. Purchase them here. However, all tickets for the February 17 concert are sold out.
What time will the doors open?
Doors will open at 4.30pm at the National Stadium. As for the show held at the Capitol Theatre, it is said that doors will open one hour before the show that will start at 8pm. However, we highly recommend arriving slightly earlier.
How long will the show last?
The show on February 16 will start at 6.30pm and will last around two hours, while the show on February 17 will commence at 8pm and will last around two hours as well.
What is the setlist for Ed Sheeran’s + - = ÷ x Tour in Singapore?
The exact setlist still remains a mystery. However, taking reference from Ed Sheeran’s recent performance in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, on February 3, here is the supposed setlist for the February 16 show:
- Tides
- BLOW
- I'm a Mess
- Shivers
- The A Team
- Castle on the Hill
- Don't
- Eyes Closed
- Give Me Love
- Boat
- Punchline
- River / Peru / Beautiful People / South of the Border / I Don't Care
- Overpass Graffiti
- Celestial
- Galway Girl
- Thinking Out Loud
- Love Yourself (Justin Bieber cover)
- Sing
- One
- Photograph
- Tenerife Sea
- Perfect
- Bloodstream
- Afterglow
- You Need Me, I Don't Need You
- Shape of You
- Bad Habits
On the other hand, as the show on February 17 is a special one, we will not be able to predict what Ed Sheeran has planned out just for the audience.
What items cannot be brought into the venue?
For both venues, be prepared for bag checks and pat downs. Outside food and beverages, including alcohol and bottled water, are not allowed. Bags of dimensions larger than 35cm by 20cm by 30cm, non-collapsible umbrellas, noise makers, chairs, stools, flowers, gifts, hand sanitisers exceeding 60ml, perfume in glass bottles (excluding travel-size perfume atomisers) and fan boards bigger than A3 will also not be allowed in the venues. Lastly, those in possession of video cameras, monopods, tripods, selfie sticks, audio recording devices and professional cameras (those including telephoto or zoom lenses) will be denied entry into the venue as well.
Is re-entry allowed?
For the National Stadium show, you will not be allowed to re-enter the venue unless specified otherwise. If you arrive late, you may also be denied entry into the venue until there is a suitable break, as decided by the event organiser. No refunds or compensation will be given in such situations. For the Capitol Theatre show, it has not been officially declared. However, it is highly likely that re-entry will not be allowed as well.
