Ed Sheeran in Hollywood: One Man, One Loop Pedal, Two Nights at Hard Rock Live

Everybody else on this tour is playing football stadiums. South Florida gets Ed Sheeran indoors. On **Thursday, October 29 at 8:00 PM**, Sheeran brings the North American leg of his **LOOP Tour** to **Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood** — and if Thursday sells through your plans, he does it all again on **Friday, October 30**. Look at the rest of this tour's map — Soldier Field, SoFi Stadium, MetLife, Gillette — and then look at this room. This is the intimate-by-his-standards stop, and around here, that's the whole pitch. ## Why this show is different Sheeran's entire live reputation rests on an almost absurd premise: one guy, one guitar, one loop pedal, no band hiding behind him. He builds each song live in front of you — a beat tapped on the guitar body, a harmony stacked, a riff layered — until a single performer sounds like a full production. The LOOP Tour leans straight into that, with an all-new set design built around the looping setup that made him famous. The show pairs new songs from **Play** — his eighth album, released last year, where he pulls Indian and Persian musical influences into the Irish folk tradition he grew up on — with the fan favorites and classics that filled stadiums on his record-smashing Mathematics Tour. Recent LOOP Tour stops have opened with "You Need Me, I Don't Need You," rolled through "Sapphire," "Castle on the Hill," "The A Team" and "Shivers," made room for fan requests, and closed with an encore of "Shape of You," "Azizam" and "Bad Habits." Setlists shift night to night — that's the fun of a performer who can actually change course mid-show — but "Thinking Out Loud," "Perfect" and "Photograph" have been fixtures all tour. And because it's indoors at Hard Rock Live, this is the rare big-name South Florida show this week where the weather outside is simply not your problem. ## The details - **What:** Ed Sheeran — LOOP Tour - **When:** Thursday, October 29, 2026 at 8:00 PM (second night Friday, October 30) - **Where:** Hard Rock Live, Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, 1 Seminole Way, Hollywood, FL 33314 - **Tickets:** Starting at $185 through the official Hard Rock Hollywood event page — all seats are reserved, and doors open an hour before showtime - **Good to know:** All-ages show ## Insider tips 1. **Pick your night like a local.** Thursday is the move if you can swing it — Friday night at the Guitar Hotel draws the bigger casino-and-concert crowd, and Thursday's room tends to be the easier in, easier out. 2. **Arrive for the building, not just the show.** You're already at the Seminole Hard Rock — the Guitar Hotel light show and the Oculus bar are worth the early arrival. Doors open an hour before 8, so get in, get settled, and don't be sprinting down the escalator during the opener. 3. **Park with a plan.** The property's garages fill fast on concert nights. Arrive early, note your garage and level before you head inside, and expect a slow roll out afterward — or let the post-show crowd thin out inside the casino while you grab a drink or a late bite. 4. **Don't wait on tickets.** Two nights sounds like plenty until you remember the rest of Florida is driving to this one — Tampa doesn't get him until November 7, and that's a stadium. A reserved seat in this room at the $185 starting price is the best version of this tour in the state. 5. **Watch the loop build early.** The first few songs are the masterclass — he constructs the arrangements piece by piece before the big singalongs take over. It's worth being in your seat, not in the drink line, when the show starts. ## Bottom line Stadium tours roll through South Florida all the time. A stadium *act* — alone with a loop pedal, in a theater-sized room, five minutes off I-95 — does not. Thursday, October 29 is your night. **[Get tickets and full event details](https://casino.hardrock.com/fr/hollywood/events/ed-sheeran)**
