Ed Sheeran brings his LOOP Tour to Levi’s® Stadium in Santa Clara on Saturday, July 25, 2026 at 5:30 PM. Special guest opening acts will include Myles Smith, Sigrid, and Aaron Rowe. This pop superstar will likely perform a mix of hits from his latest album Play (songs like “Sapphire” and “Azizam”) and classic favorites. Expect a setlist with crowd-pleasers such as “Castle on the Hill,” “Shivers,” “The A Team,” “Photograph,” “Thinking Out Loud,” “Perfect,” “Shape of You,” and “Bad Habits”. Sheeran’s concerts often feature dynamic visuals and an intimate acoustic feel, making even a large stadium show feel personal and fun.
- 🎟️ Tickets & Pricing: Ed Sheeran tickets have sold out quickly in presales. Resale listings show tickets starting around $91 USD on SeatGeek for the Santa Clara show (as of late 2025). Other platforms like Vivid Seats and StubHub had tickets in the ~$100–$115 range. (Face-value sale on Ticketmaster was handled via the official app and likely sold out.)
Tip: Check multiple resale sites and consider signing up for alerts. Verified resale tickets on major platforms are the safest option. - 🗓️ Event Schedule: Gates typically open ~90–120 minutes before showtime. On July 25, expect the stadium to open around 3:30 PM – 4:00 PM, with opening sets from Myles Smith, Sigrid, and Aaron Rowe in the evening. Coldplay’s example shows a tip to arrive early for merch and food, and similarly arriving by 4:00 PM here will let you settle in before the main show.
- 🧭 Getting There: Levi’s Stadium is well-connected by public transit. The VTA Light Rail (Orange Line) runs to the Great America Station just north of the stadium. On game or concert days, VTA may add extra service. Regional trains (Capitol Corridor) run to Santa Clara–University and Diridon in San Jose, where riders can transfer to VTA. Driving is another option: paid parking is available by reservation through Ticketmaster or the stadium’s parking site. Rideshares have dedicated zones—drop-off is along the bus stop south of Great America Parkway and pick-up at Red Lot 7. Pro tip: carpool or rideshare to avoid traffic, and allow extra time for campus-area congestion on event days.
- 🚗 Parking: Reserved lot parking must be purchased in advance. Standard parking garages (Green, Gold, etc.) are near the stadium. Avoid blocking neighbors’ driveways if parking offsite. Stadium policy: clear bags only and no large cameras, as listed on the Levi’s Stadium site (see Permitted Items).
- 🏨 Hotels & Stays: If you need a nearby hotel, several are within a short drive or walk. The Hyatt Regency Santa Clara (4-star, ~9-minute walk) and Hilton Santa Clara (4-star, ~8-minute walk) are immediately adjacent to Levi’s Stadium and offer convenient access. Other area options include comfortable chains like Element San Jose – Milpitas (3.6 mi, pool, free breakfast) or Residence Inn by Marriott San Jose North/Silicon Valley (1.8 mi, free breakfast). Santa Clara/Sunnyvale have many mid-range hotels; San Jose’s downtown is about 6 miles away with even more choices. Book early – July is peak summer travel season in the Bay Area.
- 🎉 Concert Experience: Expect a high-energy, interactive show. Ed’s LOOP Tour is rumored to be eco-friendly (like coldplay) with signature color-changing wristbands for the audience, large video screens, and fireworks. Fans often describe Sheeran concerts as heartfelt and communal – you’ll be singing along to every chorus. From soundcheck to final bow, soak in the moment: wear comfortable shoes and bring a light jacket for the evening.
