Men's Health | 08.01.2026 05:02I'M STOOD IN the immigration queue at Düsseldorf airport, here to attend the Ed Sheeran Mathematics tour, one of the last stops in what has been an epic four-year journey for the 34-year-old. Selling 8.8 million tickets across 188 dates, it has become the fourth-highest grossing tour of all time, behind only Taylor Swift, Coldplay and Elton John. As I’m about to shuffle to the front of the queue, I realise I’m not the only one here for the multi-platinum selling artist. A few aisles down, a man in his mid-fifties and his partner are here to attend the concert. ‘We couldn’t get tickets to his Wembley show so we decided to make a trip of it,’ he explains to the immigration official, who looks slightly confused, before stamping the passport in front of him and waving the pair through. Closer to me, there’s a group of women in their twenties adorned in Ed Sheeran merch.
