Ed Sheeran recently launched his own record label Gingerbread.

It's more of a surprise." Sheeran added: "I've got three acts every day, and they're all multi-platinum... They're all great, they're all really, really good.

Ed Sheeran always puts on one hell of a one-man show at his concerts, and his three dates at Wembley Stadium are set to be his biggest shows yet - and he's finally unveiled his amazing support acts for the shows too.

Our favourite ginger singing marvel revealed that OneRepublic and Foy Vance will be opening for him on the 10th July, Rudimental and Example take the stage on 11th July and his final date on 12th July will be supported by OneRepublic and Passenger. 

Ed has previously said that the Wembley dates on his ‘x’ World Tour will be like “mini festivals” and told DigitalSpy that he sorted his support acts early on although he has only just revealed the names on the bill. 

He explained, “I actually sorted the support acts before I'd even put them on sale because I never want to play to someone else's crowd and I want my crowd to feel like they have a treat.

The third date is 87% sold so once that's gone I'm gonna announce them. I'm saying here's a wicked support act that you can watch that you didn't know he was gonna be here.”

"It's more of a surprise rather than buying a ticket for the whole day knowing who's going to be there, so I wanted to sell out the gigs before I announced the supports, but I've got three acts every day and they're all multi-platinum.”

Meanwhile, dates of Ed Sheeran's three Wembley shows are as follows.

There'll be three every day and it'll be like a mini-festival."

And after Ed’s incredible set at Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball, we can NOT wait! 

Former Hull council worker Calum Scott had to "pinch himself" after securing a slot on Ed Sheeran's world tour.

Scott said the six-month support gig was "an incredible opportunity" to tour with the star.

The singer, who reached the final of Britain's Got Talent in 2015, performed with Take That at the King's Coronation concert in May.

He said Gary Barlow had also messaged him to say "how proud he and the boys were" of him.

The 35-year-old is supporting Sheeran on his world tour, performing in Europe and Asia in 2024.

He told BBC Look North: "I am pinching myself all the time - every time I speak to you I say the same thing, but having these moments in time, I just feel so incredibly lucky.

"To tour with Ed Sheeran for six months - three months in Europe and three months in Asia - is pretty mind blowing," he said.

"When I was working for the council, these were the kind of moments I dreamt of.

Some of them have played Wembley before. The fact that they've come true and to tour with Ed is unbelievable."

Ed Sheeran had promised 'arena sized acts' for his huge Wembley Stadium shows and has revealed who wil be joining him on stage in July.

The first act to ever headline Wembley Stadium completely solo and unaccompanied, Sheeran has enlisted an impressive lineup for the shows.
