The Rolling Stones might make the bigger bang , but a couple of other artists announced tours on Tuesday as well.
Ed Sheeran continues to thrive on the road has added a fall leg to his North American tour.
The ginger-haired singer-songwriter-guitarist will next bring his sensitive sounds to Philips Arena on Sept. 12 with Christina Perri opening. The show is a year to the date that he played The Arena at Gwinnett Center.
Since then, Sheeran scored an album of the year Grammy nod for “x” and is currently riding the success of his Van Morrison-like ballad, “Thinking Out Loud.”
Tickets for Sheeran's Philips Arena show will go on sale at noon April 17 at the venue box office, www.ticketmaster.com, all Ticketmaster outlets and by calling 1-800-745-3000. Tickets are $59.50-$69.50.
