Looking forward to Ed Sheeran live? The singer-songwriter’s LOOP Tour hits Levi’s® Stadium (Santa Clara, CA) on Saturday, July 25, 2026 at 5:30 PM. In Santa Clara, Sheeran will be joined by opener acts Myles Smith, Sigrid and Aaron Rowe. His shows blend guitar-driven pop hits with acoustic ballads; fans can expect smash hits like “Shivers,” “Castle on the Hill,” “Thinking Out Loud,” “Bad Habits,” and “Perfect,” along with new tracks from his Play era such as “Sapphire” and “Azizam.” Ticketmaster’s official info confirms the date and venue, and early fan reports and media previews give us the likely setlist structure.
- 🎟️ Ticket Tips: Official tickets required the Ticketmaster app for purchase. Now you’ll likely find resale tickets on trusted marketplaces. SeatGeek lists tickets starting around $91 for this show (as of late 2025). StubHub and Vivid Seats show similar prices ($100–$115). Pro tip: Search daily for ticket deals and consider less-expensive seats further from stage – Ed Sheeran’s charismatic performance plays well even from the nosebleeds.
- 📍 Venue & Gates: Levi’s Stadium address is 4900 Marie P DeBartolo Way, Santa Clara. Nearby parking lots require advance purchase. Gates usually open by 3:30 PM for a 5:30 PM show. Swing by team merchandise stands for Ed Sheeran tees and memorabilia before the concert starts.
- 🎶 What to Expect: The LOOP Tour is acclaimed for its fan-friendly vibe. Ed often strolls through the crowd and plays acoustic renditions of hits. Expect pyrotechnics and a spectacular light show during anthems like “Bad Habits.” Global concert guides note he may also encourage phone flashlights or wristbands synced to music, making a “sea of lights” effect. For a multi-sensory experience, wear something comfortable and bring a light jacket (Bay Area nights can cool off).
- 🛣 Getting There: Levi’s Stadium is easily reached by the VTA Orange Line light rail – ride to Great America Station, a short walk from the venue. For car drivers, allow extra time for post-concert traffic: southbound Highway 101 and I‑880 can get crowded. Rideshare is convenient: get dropped off at the bus stop on Great America Parkway south of the stadium, then meet your pick-up in Red Lot 7 after the show.
- 🅿️ Parking: Pre-pay for a parking pass with your ticket (lots sell out fast). After the concert, temporary express lanes may open on I‑880 north. If you park offsite in nearby lots, follow staff directions to exit quickly. No outside food/drinks are allowed at Levi’s – grab a stadium snack or dinner beforehand.
- 🏩 Where to Stay: Santa Clara offers nearby options. The Hyatt Regency Santa Clara (4-star, ~9 min walk) and Hilton Santa Clara (4-star, ~8 min walk) are right next to the stadium and often package event rates. For more budget choices, hotels in Sunnyvale/Milpitas or downtown San Jose (7–9 miles away) include chains with free breakfast. Book early — hotel rates rise in summer.
- 🔑 Fan-Friendly Tips: To make the night smoother: charge your phone, wear your favorite Ed Sheeran shirt or wristband, and sync up to the official LOOP Tour playlist before going (Ticketmaster’s Spotify playlist has predicted songs). Eat or bike to the stadium if you can – the area has Bike Stations and free bike valet (Gate C corral) operated by Silicon Valley Bike Coalition. If you’re coming with friends, pick a meetup spot outside in case of cell dead zones inside the venue.
