He will headline arenas in Manchester, London, Glasgow, Dublin and Paris this March and April.
The select run of shows will take place ahead of the album’s release on 5 May, which marks the last in his decade-spanning mathematical album era.
Announcing the album he said he’d been working on it for a decade “trying to sculpt the perfect acoustic album”.
He goes on to say “at the start of 2022, a series of events changed my life, my mental health, and ultimately the way I viewed music and art”.
This included his wife’s health, the death of his friend, Jamal Edwards and his court case, saying “in just over a week I replaced a decade’s worth of work with my deepest darkest thoughts”.
“For the first time, I’m not trying to craft an album people will like, I’m merely putting something out that’s honest and true to where I am in my adult life,” the singer added.
The tour dates will see Ed “play a host of fan favourites in addition to his yet-to-be-announced new single”, which marks the first from the album.
It comes two years after the release of his album Equals, which saw him embark on a huge world stadium tour.
The tour is currently in Australia and will head to North America across the summer following his new album release.
