Ed Sheeran Announces 'X' 10th Anniversary Show In Brooklyn

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of his sophomore album, x, Ed Sheeran has announced a one-off show at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, on May 22.

The concert set-list will purportedly include the 24-track special "Wembley Edition."

The LP was originally released on June 20, 2014. Ten years later, Sheeran will drop x (10th Anniversary Edition), an expanded version consisting of a dozen original songs and nine bonus tracks.

The singer, songwriter and guitarist recalled the experiences of the making of x in an Instagram post, saying, "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."

"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," he continued. "Can't wait to experience the multiply show with you, and remember some amazing moments over this summer together."

Tickets for the Multiply anniversary show will go on sale on May 6.
