Ed Sheeran is releasing a live collection to celebrate Mathematics tour

Ed Sheeran is to release a tour version of his four mathematical albums.

The 33-year-old singer will bring together some of his biggest songs to date from his decade-spanning mathematical albums with +-=÷× (TOUR COLLECTION) and it will be available on CD, 2xLP (Bright Blue vinyl) as well as digital on streaming

Ed made the announcement himself after wowing the crowds as part of the closing leg of his 2024 Mathematics World Tour in Cyprus.

The physical formats will include access to exclusive voice notes from the Grammy Award-winning star and a brand new selection of related merchandise will also be available.

The album opens with the early hit The A-Team - which was released as his debut single in June 2011 - and also contains other classics such as Lego House and Thinking Out Loud before going into the late 2010s with tracks such as Galway Girl and Castle on the Hill.

Closing out the mammoth record are more recent hits Bad Habits and Shivers with the 2023 single Eyes Closed serving as the final track on the album.

The vinyl edition comprises all the big hits but also marks the first time that Afterglow has been available in such a format.

Meanwhile, Lay It All On Me and You Need Me, I Don't Need You will only be available to those who purchase the digital version of the album.

Ed previously revealed that he is "done" with naming his albums after mathematical symbols following the success of Plus, Multiply, Subtract and Equals.

Speaking on the Australian ‘Carrie Tommy’ podcast, he said: “That’s it. There’s only five. The other one will be out before I come to New Zealand [and Australia] to do the tour.”

The +-=÷× (TOUR COLLECTION) album will be released on 27 September.
