Ed Sheeran's Gillette Stadium Shows Cancelled Due to Forecasted Nor'easter
The Friday and Saturday concerts by Ed Sheeran at Gillette Stadium were called off because of an approaching nor'easter, with tickets set for automatic refunds.
Ed Sheeran's scheduled performances on Friday and Saturday at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, have been cancelled after the venue cited a forecasted nor'easter as the cause. The stadium said the decision prioritized the safety of fans and staff.
Ticket holders will receive refunds through the original point of purchase, and Ticketmaster orders will be processed automatically, the stadium announced on social media.
A Sky5 crew observed stage dismantling on Friday morning, with at least nine tractor-trailers parked inside the venue for equipment removal.
The cancellation follows a series of disruptions to Sheeran's Loop Tour, including earlier delays after opening acts withdrew in protest over the removal of rapper Macklemore, who had been dropped after comments on the Israel-Gaza conflict. Sheeran recently addressed the Gaza situation and concerns about venue censorship during a concert in Philadelphia, describing the Oct. 7 attacks in Israel as "horrific" and the situation in Gaza as "catastrophic and unjustifiable." > "I am deeply worried about the idea that venues should pre-approve content of performers," Sheeran said, adding that such practices should not occur in a free society.
