Ed Sheeran Celebrates 10th Anniversary of 'X' With New Songs, One-Night-Only Show

Ed Sheeran has big plans for the 10th anniversary of his album, X.

The record was released in 2014 to massive critical acclaim, appearing in the top five on multiple end-of-year lists and debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Within a year, the album was RIAA-certified double platinum less than two years later and has since sold over 200 million copies..

X features songs like the diamond-selling "Thinking Out Loud" as well as "Don't," "Sing" and "Photograph." The album helped skyrocket Sheeran to his staggering level of fame. X was nominated for Album of the Year and Pop Vocal Album at the 57th Grammy Awards. The following year, Sheeran would win Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for "Thinking Out Loud."

Sheeran is celebrating the record's 10th birthday with new, never-before-heard tracks from the album as well as a one night only show at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The concert is set for June 22, which is exactly 10 years to the date since X's debut. In a statement, Sheeran announced that the show would resemble that of his 2015 release, X (Wembley Edition.)

To help fans get their hands on tickets, Sheeran is partnering with Seated, an "artist service" ticketing company. Fans can sign up for the chance to be randomly selected from a pool of eligible ticket-buyers. Due to Barclays Center's limited capacity, only 12,000 fans will gain access to tickets, which they will be able to buy on Ticketmaster.

Fans who aren't selected will be added to a waitlist and will be alerted should more tickets become available.

The X (10th Anniversary Edition) will be available in a variety of mediums, including vinyl records and CDs. The record is "pressed on a transparent, more eco-friendly vinyl." Billie Eilish recently fired shots at artists who sell multiple versions of their vinyls, calling it "wasteful." Eilish used ECO-Mix for the vinyl editions of her upcoming album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, while Sheeran opted to use EcoRecord.

This special anniversary edition will include songs like "I See Fire" from The Hobbit and "Even My Dad Does Sometimes." The record features songs that have never been available on vinyl before. Many of these bonus tracks appear on x (Wembley Edition), which was released digitally in November 2015.

Following his special Barclays Center performance, Sheeran will continue on his Mathematics tour, which includes both music festivals and individual arena shows. He'll travel across the globe, beginning in Boston and ending in Brazil in mid-September.
