Ed Sheeran’s LOOP Tour stops at Levi’s® Stadium (Santa Clara, CA) on Saturday, July 25, 2026, at 5:30 PM. Fans can look forward to a big-production show with both high-energy hits (“Bad Habits,” “Shivers,” “Shape of You”) and intimate acoustic moments. The Levi’s Stadium event page confirms Ed will perform with openers Myles Smith, Sigrid, and Aaron Rowe. Since Levi’s is in Silicon Valley, tech-savvy features like phone signal boosters and app-based ticketing are in play. Here’s what every concertgoer needs to know:
- 🎫 Ticket Overview: Original onsale was through Ticketmaster’s app (Levi’s Stadium requires use of their app). As a result, most tickets are now on resale. According to ticket broker reports, SeatGeek shows tickets from about $91 USD for this date, while StubHub and Vivid Seats listings hover around $100–$115. No paper tickets or print-at-home – all entries are via mobile or stadium guest services.
- 🕠 Schedule & Gates: Levi’s Stadium has a clear schedule of events. Gates typically open ~2 hours before showtime. For a 5:30 PM concert, plan to arrive by 3:30 PM. Early arrival helps beat the lines for bag checks and concessions. The Levi’s Permitted Items guide (on the stadium site) allows small clear bags, cameras without detachable lenses, sealed plastic water bottles, etc. (No selfie sticks or professional video cameras.)
- 🚆 Transit Options: Public transit is reliable. The VTA Light Rail (Orange Line) stops at the Great America Station directly adjacent to the stadium. Caltrain riders can transfer to VTA at Mountain View if coming from SF. AC Transit’s WHEELS buses run special shuttles from the Santa Clara transit center on event nights. Driving? Take US-101 or CA-85 to North First Street, then follow signs to the stadium. Prepaid parking passes (Gold, Green lots, etc.) are highly recommended; unsold street parking is very limited in this area.
- 🚗 Parking & Drop-off: Ride-share drop-off is at the south bus stop on Great America Parkway. After the show, rideshare pickup is staged at Red Lot 7. If you drive, consider parking at offsite lots or hotels with shuttles. The stadium’s official parking map breaks down zones (e.g. Red, Blue lots) if you pre-book. On departure, traffic control teams will direct cars to freeways – be patient and follow posted detours.
- 🍕 Food & Amenities: Levi’s Stadium offers food trucks and concourse vendors, but lines get long. Arrive early to grab a bite (famous 49ers Chick-fil-A and local BBQ spots are favorites). Note: No outside food or drink, except small snacks. For pre-show meals, nearby Santana Row (5 mi) has many restaurants. Carry cash or card; the stadium supports contactless payment. Restrooms are plentiful but expect crowding at peak times (intermission).
- 🏘 Local Area & Hotels: The stadium is near the Great America theme park and Santa Clara Convention Center. If traveling from afar, book hotels by distance: Hyatt Regency and Hilton Santa Clara are top picks (both walkable to Levi’s). Smaller budget hotels are a few miles west in Sunnyvale or north in Milpitas. For families or groups, consider Airbnbs in Santa Clara – just check proximity to light rail for easy return.
- 🎉 Insider Tip: Engage with the fan community! Join the official LOOP Tour app/community to receive real-time updates and possible pre-show surprises. Wear bright or light clothing – many fans light up the stadium with glowing wristbands or phone lights during ballads (the vibe turns magical when thousands of lights sync with Ed’s music). Lastly, don’t forget to stretch – you’ll be on your feet singing along for 2+ hours!
