British singer Ed Sheeran has cancelled two scheduled concerts at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, after severe weather warnings were issued across Boston and New England.

The shows, originally planned for Friday, September 25, and Saturday, September 26, were cancelled following consultations between the promoter and local officials. The decision was made to protect the safety of fans, staff and everyone involved in the concerts.

Storm Forces Concert Cancellations

The cancellations come as a powerful nor’easter affects parts of the US East Coast, bringing dangerous coastal conditions, strong winds and concerns about flooding. Forecasters have warned of significant impacts across New England throughout the weekend.

The promoter, Messina Touring, announced that ticket refunds would be available at the original point of purchase. Fans who purchased tickets through Ticketmaster are set to receive automatic refunds.

The cancellations affect Sheeran’s Loop Tour, which has been taking place across the United States. The decision highlights the challenges of organising large outdoor concerts during periods of severe weather.

Fans are being advised to check refund information through their ticket providers as the tour team responds to the cancellations.
