how long does the ed sheeran concert go for

Ed Sheeran’s main set usually runs for about 2 to 2.5 hours once he’s on stage, but the whole “event” at the venue can stretch closer to 4–5 hours when you include openers and waiting time.

Quick Scoop: How long does the Ed Sheeran concert go for?

  • Ed himself: typically around 2 hours to about 2 hours 30 minutes on stage.
  • Recent tours: many shows have Ed on from roughly 8:00–8:30 pm until around 10:30–10:50 pm.
  • With openers: if you include support acts and changeover, the full evening at the stadium can feel like 4+ hours from doors opening to the final song.
  • Variability: some guides and fan reports mention concerts as short as 90–120 minutes or “about two hours,” but the upper end (around 2:15–2:30) is common on big tours.

Typical timing pattern (recent tours)

  • Doors open: often around 4:30–6:00 pm (varies by venue).
  • Openers / support acts: start roughly 1.5–2 hours before Ed’s set.
  • Ed’s start time: commonly around 8:00–8:30 pm.
  • End time: often around 10:30–10:50 pm.

So for planning:

  • If you only care about Ed: plan for about a 2–2.5 hour show once he walks on.
  • If you’re doing the full experience with openers and arrival: block out most of the evening, around 4–5 hours total.

Fan and forum chatter

Public fan stories and forum posts line up with this: people frequently report Ed going on around 8:15 pm and finishing between about 10:30 and 10:45, calling it “about 2–2.5 hours” on stage. Some guides for the 2025 leg mention ~2-hour headline sets plus 30–45 minute openers.

In other words, expect a full night: a long, high-energy set from Ed, plus extra time for support acts, crowd singalongs, and a slow shuffle out of the stadium.
