Tickets still available for Ed Sheeran concert at Pittsburgh's Acrisure Stadium
Pittsburgh’s summer of big concerts continues Saturday.
British pop star Ed Sheeran will take the stage at Acrisure Stadium on the North Shore.
Opening guests are expected to be Khalid and Rosa Linn.
Khalid missed the past few shows because he was in a car accident and it is not clear if he will be in Pittsburgh. He did not perform last weekend — Sheeran welcomed John Mayer on June 30 and Little Big Town on July 1 for his concerts at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass.
Sheeran last performed in Pittsburgh at PNC Park on the North Shore in 2018 on his “Divide Tour.” He opened for Taylor Swift – who had two sold-out concerts in the ‘Burgh in June at Acrisure — in 2013 when the venue was Heinz Field.
Sheeran’s “+ – = ÷ x Tour” (pronounced “The Mathematics Tour”), begins at 6 p.m. It will feature songs from his latest album” - (Subtract)” which came out in May.
