Ed Sheeran’s New Doco Drops This Week, So Mark Your Calendars
"This is a must-watch for any Ed Sheeran or live music fan.”
Mark your calendars because a documentary on Ed Sheeran’s ‘Mathematics’ tour drops in Australia this week.
The Ed Sheeran: Full Circle premieres on Channel 9 and the 9Now streaming service on Thursday November 24 at 9:15pm — which is directly after the streaming of this year’s ARIA Awards.
The doco chronicles Sheeran’s performances and life as he toured his four math-symbol named albums: +, =, x, and ÷. The tour first kicked off in April of 2022 in Ireland, with the doco largely focussing on his performances at London’s iconic Wembley Stadium that took place over five nights in June and July.
The doco takes you behind the scenes of what Mushroom Group CEO Matt Gudinski calls “one of, if not the biggest and most complex touring productions ever.”
“Full Circle takes you behind the scenes and gives you an exclusive look at how Ed and his team have pulled this spectacular show together and delivered the fans an amazing live experience,” Gudinski said in a press release. “I simply can’t wait for Australian fans to see the Mathematics tour in 2023. This is a must-watch for any Ed Sheeran or live music fan.”
Ed Sheeran: Full Circle is the first of two docos to come from the musician in the foreseeable future, with this one focussed more on the music, while a second, unnamed, project will focus on his life.
“We are shooting a documentary at the moment about my life,” Sheeran told The Sun, “and there was a big conversation about what we include… As long as it’s honest and it links in with a theme of something that’s in a song.”
If watching the doco gets you pumped to see Sheeran live and in the flesh, you’re in luck, because the Mathematics tour is heading down under in February.
During his Australasian leg, Sheeran will play three New Zealand shows before hopping across the Tasman to play Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth (yes, Perth finally gets a show).
The world tour then makes it way up to North America, where it will conclude in California next September after a mammoth year and a half of touring for Sheeran.
