Ed Sheeran Announces Brooklyn Anniversary Show to Celebrate 10 Years of 'X': 'Feels Wild'
Sheeran will perform a one-night only show at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. on Wednesday, May 22
Ed Sheeran found the perfect way to commemorate 10 years of x.
The "Bad Habits" singer, 33, is celebrating the anniversary of his sophomore album with a special, one-night-only show at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. on Wednesday, May 22.
The setlist for Sheeran's concert will reflect the album's Wembley Edition — a live recording version from 2015. For the show, he's partnering with ticketing service Seated to ensure that his fans are able to get tickets.
Registration for the show opened on Wednesday, May 1 and will continue until Thursday, May 2 at 11:59 p.m. ET. The general on-sale will begin for selected fans on Monday, May 6 at 10 a.m. ET via Ticketmaster.
In addition to the gig, Sheeran will release a special 10th-anniversary edition of x on June 21, 2024 — 10 years to the date of its initial release in 2014. It will also feature nine bonus tracks outside the album's original 12 tracks, including "I See Fire" from The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and "All of the Stars" from The Fault in Our Stars.
The "Don't" singer posted to Instagram on Wednesday, May 1, to share news of the 10th anniversary edition and merch with his followers.
In the video, multiple versions of Sheeran can be seen doing various tasks — playing guitar, ironing merch, and eating cake — while wearing black hoodies featuring the album's signature green "x" design as Sheeran's song "Sing" plays in the background. During the clip, one version of the pop artist approaches the camera to let fans know that his 10th anniversary merch is coming soon.
Since its initial release in 2014, the album—also known as 'Multiply' — has had more than 22 million in global sales. "Thinking Out Loud" earned Sheeran Grammy awards for best pop solo performance and song of the year in 2015. The song also peaked at No.2 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart in 2015.

In the caption of the post, the singer reflected on the making of the album and the period in his life that gave it its genesis.
"10th anniversary of Multiply this year, which feels wild but also a lot has happened in that 10 years. This album was made from 2011 - 2014, and spanned my whole personal life through that time, which was a mad time," Sheeran wrote.
He continued: "Going from playing pubs and clubs to selling arenas in those years, falling in and out of love, travelling all round the world, working with some of the best producers in the world, it was a real rollercoaster, and it’s been amazing to revisit all the memories."
Sheeran told fans he "can’t wait to experience the multiply show" with them "and remember some amazing moments over this summer together."
"Multiply anniversary show is on 22nd May at Barclays Center New York. Tickets on sale 6th May, sign up via link in bio. Album & merch available now to pre-order, out 21st June x," he concluded.
Sheeran released x in 2014 when he was just 23. Featuring now-hit songs like "Photograph" and "Thinking Out Loud," the album quickly helped to launch the budding new artist into global superstardom.
