Ed Sheeran's scheduled concerts at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, for Friday, September 25, and Saturday, September 26, 2026, have been canceled due to severe weather warnings. Tour promoter Messina Touring, in consultation with local officials, made the decision to prioritize the safety of attendees and staff as a nor'easter is expected to bring heavy rain, strong winds, and coastal flooding to the region throughout the weekend.

Fans who purchased tickets through Ticketmaster will automatically receive refunds. The cancellation follows an already turbulent period for Sheeran's "Loop" tour, which saw opening act Macklemore removed and subsequently other support acts withdraw in solidarity.

The forecasted nor'easter is anticipated to bring damaging winds between 40 and 55 mph to the Foxborough area, peaking from Friday night through Saturday night. This severe weather prompted the difficult decision to cancel the sold-out shows, disappointing thousands of fans who were set to attend.
