Ed Sheeran brings his LOOP Tour to Petco Park on Tuesday, July 21, 2026 at 5:30 PM, with special guests Myles Smith, Sigrid, and Aaron Rowe, for a stadium night of hits.
Ed Sheeran's LOOP Tour comes to Petco Park on Tuesday, July 21, 2026 at 5:30 p.m. — a stadium-scale night from one of the best-selling artists of the 21st century, with his signature live-looping, blockbuster hits, and special guests Myles Smith, Sigrid, and Aaron Rowe.
It's one of the biggest concerts of San Diego's summer — and it's perfect for longtime Ed Sheeran fans, families looking for an all-ages stadium show, and anyone who wants to sing along to a catalog of hits under the downtown sky.
The night is headlined by Ed Sheeran, touring behind his LOOP Tour with a setlist spanning his biggest hits — songs like "Shape of You," "Thinking Out Loud," "Bad Habits," "Perfect," and "Castle on the Hill" — alongside new material from his "Play" album and the acoustic storytelling that's become his trademark.
Opening the show are three rising acts: Myles Smith, Sigrid, and Aaron Rowe, who'll warm up the crowd before Ed takes the stage. With three openers, there's plenty of reason to arrive early.
What sets an Ed Sheeran show apart is the live looping — he builds entire songs in real time, layering guitar, vocals, and percussion with a loop pedal, often performing solo on a stage-in-the-round. It's a remarkable feat that turns a stadium into something surprisingly intimate, with tens of thousands of fans singing every word.
On the night:
Tuesday, July 21, 2026 — event starts at 5:30 p.m.
Location: Petco Park, 100 Park Boulevard, San Diego, CA 92101.
Petco Park anchors downtown's East Village, a short walk from the Gaslamp Quarter and directly served by the MTS Trolley — making it one of the easiest big venues in the city to reach without driving.
Ed Sheeran is one of the best-selling musical artists of the 21st century, with a string of global chart-toppers and a reputation as one of live music's most compelling solo performers. The LOOP Tour is projected to fill stadiums across North America, and San Diego is one of a select group of cities on the route. The show blends his catalog of hits with newer songs from his "Play" album — a setlist designed to keep the whole stadium on its feet.
A few specific reasons this show is worth the trip:
1. The live looping is unmissable. Few artists can hold a stadium solo the way Ed does.
2. The hits never stop. A catalog deep enough that nearly every song is a singalong.
3. Three strong openers. Myles Smith, Sigrid, and Aaron Rowe make arriving early worth it.
4. It's all ages. A genuine multi-generational night out.
5. Petco Park is a perfect summer venue. Open-air, downtown, and easy to reach.
