Ed Sheeran has promised that his ‘Mathematics’ tour will land on US shores sometime in the near future.

The ‘Shape Of You’ hitmaker has two more gigs at London’s Wembley Stadium tonight (June 30) and tomorrow (July 1) before wrapping off the UK leg of his current tour in support of his most recent album, ‘=,’ and departing for Europe the following week.

Ed Sheeran said he will play the US, but probably not this year, in an interview on the Late Late Show on Tuesday (June 28).

“I think we’re gonna announce by the end of the year,” Sheeran said about a potential North American tour. “We’re basically finalising a route now.”

“I’m super excited to bring this tour, it’s an insane-looking tour,” Sheeran continued. “We basically planned it from the end of the ‘÷’ tour, because it was sort of well-publicised that it was the most people had gone to this tour, so I was like if we come back, we have to do all bells and whistles. The stage is nuts… there are fireworks and flames, there’s a band, it’s a whole thing.”

The singer-songwriter also gave a hint at what US audiences can expect from the upcoming shows. “You go on tour, for my first album, I basically just played my first album live. And my second album was like little bits of both, and my third album was little bits of both, whereas this one the setlist is pretty much just songs people know,” Sheeran said.

The host James Corden then questioned Sheeran, who was seated next to actor Vin Diesel and another guest, about the three songs that will probably always be included in his set list: He responded, “Perfect,” “Bad Habits,” and “Shape of You.”

The three musicians, who collaborated on Ed Sheeran’s 2017 hit “Shape of You,” were accused of ripping off the lyrics to the song “Oh Why” by Sami Chokri (aka Sami Switch) and Ross O’Donoghue. They referred to Sheeran as “a magpie” and said that his song had “certain lines and phrases” that were identical to their own.

Sheeran, McCutcheon and McDaid denied accusations of plagiarism, with the former saying in his testimony on March 7: “I have always tried to be completely fair in crediting anyone who makes any contribution to any song I write.” McDaid, in his testimony, called the idea of plagiarism “abhorrent”.
