English singer Ed Sheeran is set to tour SA in 2019.
It's official, come March 2019 we might be one kidney-less because we forked out some serious cash on VIP tickets for Ed Sheeran concert tickets.

If sales of his previous shows are anything to go by, expect them to sell out fast.
Ed recently wrapped up his UK tour, where he sold a whopping 1.1-million tickets.
South Africans are huge Ed Sheeran fans. Several of his songs from his latest album, 'Divide', made it onto the Coca-Cola Top 40 chart, including 'Shape of You', 'Perfect', and 'Galway Girl'.

East Coast Radio presenter Deon Govender is less than impressed that Durban was not included in the tour.
So Ed Sheeran is coming to SA and Durban as usual is left out.
