Ed Sheeran concert changes for Gillette Stadium shows
Key Points:
- Ed Sheeran's concerts at Gillette Stadium on Friday and Saturday have had their start times pushed back to 8 p.m. after all opening acts withdrew following the removal of rapper Macklemore due to his political statements on Israel and Gaza.
- Ticket holders can request refunds through Ticketmaster, which agreed to allow refunds after receiving over 170 consumer complaints and pressure from the Massachusetts Attorney General's office; refund requests must be made at least 24 hours before the show.
- The concerts will be affected by a nor'easter bringing wind and potential rain from Friday through Sunday, and Gillette Stadium's parking and gate opening times have been adjusted accordingly.
- The MBTA and Keolis announced revised schedules for special concert trains serving the events, with tickets priced at $20 round trip and return trains departing 30 minutes after the concerts end.
- Ed Sheeran has publicly expressed concern about restrictions on performers' speech and condemned violence related to the Israel-Gaza conflict during a recent show in Philadelphia.
