Elektra recording artist Ed Sheeran has announced plans for his biggest U.S. headline tour to date. Currently traveling North America on the “VH1 You Oughta Know Tour with Ed Sheeran,” the British singer/songwriter is proving as much a phenomenon here as he is in his native England. Every show on the trek – Sheeran’s first-ever North American headline tour – has sold out, with many upgraded to larger venues in order to accommodate an increasingly fervent fanbase. The “VH1 You Oughta Know Tour with Ed Sheeran” continues through mid-October.
Masterfully blending soulful vocals with organic folk introspection and irresistible hip-hop hooks, Sheeran is a genuine phenomenon. Inspired by such diverse artists as James Morrison, Damien Rice, and Jay-Z, the gifted tunesmith, his major label debut single, “The A Team,” arrived in June 2011 and instantly proved an unqualified sensation, entering among the top 3 on the U.K. Singles Chart. The track spent 11 consecutive weeks in the U.K. Top 10, making history as 2011’s highest charting, biggest selling debut single.
