Ed Sheeran’s upcoming shows at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, have been cancelled because of severe weather warnings. The decision adds another layer of difficulty to a tour that is already facing significant public scrutiny.
Messina Touring, the promoter behind the Loop tour, announced the cancellation on Friday. In a statement, the company cited the dangerous weather forecast across Boston and the wider New England region for the weekend. After consulting with local authorities, they determined that proceeding with the concerts would not be safe.
This disruption occurs against a backdrop of controversy surrounding the tour, which has drawn backlash following the removal of Macklemore after the artist made pro-Palestinian comments. Despite these prior issues, the immediate cause for the Foxborough show’s cancellation remains the severe weather conditions.
Might be a bummer, but imagine being outside in that weather anyway. Better safe than sorry!
Honestly, with all the controversy around the tour lineup changes, this feels like a weird twist of fate.
Does anyone know the refund process yet? The website seems incredibly slow to load right now.
Safety first, obviously. Thunderstorms in Foxborough are no joke, but still gutted to miss Ed.
So disappointing. I bought tickets months ago and was really looking forward to this show.
