Ed Sheeran in Abu Dhabi: Can you still get tickets and what time is the show?
If you've been putting off making plans, now's the time to sort it – general admission is still available for Dhs495, while premium standing passes will set you back Dhs895. The Limitless Lounge (both phases one and two) is already sold out, so don't wait around.
What time is Ed Sheeran's concert at OFFLIMITS festival?
Festival doors swing open at 3pm and stay open until 3am, giving you a whole twelve hours of music mayhem on Yas Island. As for Ed? He's taking the stage at 9.45pm sharp – so make sure you've got your spot secured in time to belt out Thinking Out Loud under the Abu Dhabi stars.
And while Ed might be the main event, the rest of the line-up is seriously stacked. From chart-toppers to cult classics, OFFLIMITS is bringing an avalanche of international acts to Etihad Park.
Expect festival favourites like OneRepublic and Kaiser Chiefs alongside EDM legends Faithless (yes, that Insomnia track is coming), social media sensations ALTEGO, and genre-blending queen Sevdaliza.
Palestinian-Jordanian pop powerhouse Zeyne, German singer-songwriter Leony, and TikTok-takeover twins ALTEGO will all be adding to the heat. Plus, there's plenty of homegrown talent from Dubai on the decks, including Time Out Dubai's DJ of the Year Mister Levier, as well as Taya Kruzz, Katyleen, and more.
So if you're after a festival that mixes global icons, viral stars and some serious party energy, OFFLIMITS is where you want to be. But don't hang about – with Ed Sheeran in the spotlight, tickets won't stick around for long.
From Dhs495. Saturday April 26, 3pm-3am. Ed Sheeran on stage at 9.45pm. Etihad Park, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. Tickets at platinumlist.net.

Ed Sheeran to bring his Loop Tour to Australia, New Zealand
Ed Sheeran recently announced his new Loop tour, which will start in January 2026. The singer is now bringing his Loop Tour to Australia and New Zealand. Due to overwhelming demand, he has added additional shows in Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Auckland, reported Billboard. The stadium tour will start on January 16 at Auckland's Go Media Stadium and will continue through New Zealand before heading to Australia for shows in every major capital city. The newly announced concerts include a second date at Perth's Optus Stadium, as well as three additional shows in Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne, bringing the total number of dates to 15 across both countries, according to the outlet. Tickets for all dates will go on sale on Tuesday, July 29, at staggered times. The Loop Tour will support Sheeran's next studio album, Play, set to be released September 12 via Warner Music. Described as "an explorative, technicolour pop album that captures the fun, chaos, and heart of an artist reinvigorated by life and travel," the project includes singles Azizam, Sapphire, and Old Phone. The album marks Sheeran's first major release since Autumn Variations in 2023, reported Billboard. Sharing details about the tour, Ed, in an Instagram post earlier, he wrote, "Starting a brand new tour next year called the LOOP tour. New stage, new tricks, new set up, new songs and all the classics added in. We kick it off in Australia and New Zealand in Jan, Feb, March 2026, which is always the best time, I can't wait to be back. Tickets on sale Tues 29th July, see you all there x." Meanwhile, Ed is basking in the success of his latest song, Sapphire, which he made in collaboration with Arijit Singh. Sharing what went on behind the track, Sheeran, in an Instagram post, wrote, " Sapphire was the first song I finished for Play that made me know where the album was heading. It's why I finished the recording process in Goa surrounded by some of the best musicians in India. It was an incredible creative process. I shot the music video with @liampethickphoto and @nicminns across my India tour earlier this year, we wanted to showcase the beauty and breadth of the country and its culture."
