Ed Sheeran is coming to Strawberry Arena, twice, in 2025!

Ed Sheeran finally returns to Sweden and this time to Strawberry Arena (former Friends Arena) on August 22 & 23 2025! Expect new hits and old favorites, sing-alongs and joy, love and goosebumps. Who knows, we might even shed a tear or two. Whether you have seen Ed Sheeran live before or not, you simply cannot miss him in August 2025! 

The age limit is 13 years, which applies even when accompanied by a parent or guardian. This is due to Swedish authorities' regulations regarding the limitation of high noise levels for young people.
