Los Angeles, September 25, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Ed Sheeran’s scheduled concerts at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts on September 25 and 26 have been cancelled due to severe weather warnings across Boston and New England.
Tour promoter Messina Touring announced the cancellation, citing safety concerns for fans, staff and everyone involved in the shows.
“Due to the severe weather warnings in place in Boston and across New England throughout the weekend and following consultation with local officials, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Ed Sheeran concerts at Gillette Stadium,” the promoter said in a statement.
“The decision was made with the safety of fans, staff and everyone involved in the shows as the top priority,” it added.
The promoter also said refunds were available through the original point of purchase, while tickets purchased through Ticketmaster would be refunded automatically.
The cancellations come amid a separate controversy surrounding Sheeran’s US tour and rapper Macklemore, who had been an opening act. Macklemore expressed support for Palestinians and said “Free Palestine” during a concert in New Jersey. He was subsequently removed from Sheeran’s US Loop Tour after venue owners objected to his comments.
Sheeran said the decision was made by the tour promoter following pressure from venues and denied personally removing Macklemore. Four other supporting acts later withdrew from the tour in solidarity with the rapper.
Sheeran initially said his concerts were not intended to be political, but addressed the controversy publicly when his tour resumed in Philadelphia on September 19. He apologised for mistakes in handling the situation and described the situation in Gaza as “catastrophic and unjustifiable”, while also condemning the October 2023 Hamas attack.
