But Red doesn’t forgive. Ed Sheeran’s return to Italy, which will take place on June 8 and 9 in the historic walls of Lucca for the Lucca Summer Festival, will lead to two sold-out shows with a total audience of 80 thousand. We are already halfway through: tickets for the first event are sold out, and 15 thousand tickets have already been sold for the second one announced today. The finish line of the festival organized by D’Alessandro & Galli is just around the corner. Sheeran, on the other hand, is a guarantee: with his 56 million albums and 150 million singles sold worldwide, the English artist has received 1 Brit Billion Gold Award, 4 Grammy Awards, 4 Ivor Novello Awards, 7 BRIT Awards (including two consecutive wins for Global success in 2018 and 2019), 7 Billboard Awards, and we’ll stop there.
To this day, his third studio album, ÷, remains the fastest-selling album by a male artist in the UK, and the single “Shape of You” still maintains its status as the most streamed song in Spotify history. With seven UK number one albums in a row – “+” (2011), “x” (2014), “÷” (2017), “No.6 Collaborations Project” (2019), “=” (2021), “- “(2023) and “Autumn Variations” (2023) – Ed Sheeran remains one of the most sought-after pop stars in the world. His live shot is proof of this.
