Ed Sheeran cancels his two high-profile concerts at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, scheduled for Sept. 25 and Sept. 26. Multiple outlets report the cancellations are linked to a nor’easter expected to bring severe weather, including heavy rain and strong winds, prompting concern for public safety.
Variety, Deadline, Billboard, Consequence, and others describe the storm’s impact across New England as the key factor. Several reports also note that refunds are being offered or made available for ticket holders, and that the cancellations follow recent complications around the tour earlier in September. One outlet highlights the timing, saying the shows are canceled hours before showtime, while other coverage frames the decision as part of a broader disruption to major events during the same weather system.
Some outlets connect the broader context to the tour’s earlier controversy and promotional fallout, including changes involving supporting acts and the tour’s organizer. Others focus primarily on weather-related logistics and official announcements tied to the storm forecast.
Across reporting, the common thread is that the stadium dates are removed from the schedule due to severe weather warnings associated with the nor’easter.
