Ed Sheeran’s Coventry Show: Everything You Need to Know
The pop superstar Ed Sheeran is set to perform at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Friday, December 5, 2025. This event marks part of his ‘Play’ tour and promises to be a must-see for fans of his music.
Early Arrival: A Must
The Coventry Building Society Arena website strongly encourages early arrival due to venue entry protocols. Doors will open at 6 pm, with no overnight queuing or camping permitted. This advice is given to help reduce queues and ensure a smooth entry process for all attendees.
Parking and Transport: Pre-Booking Recommended
On-site parking is available but must be pre-booked in advance to secure a spot. Guests are advised to visit www.cbsarenaparking.co.uk to make their reservations. For accessible parking, contact [email protected].
For those driving, taxis, Ubers, and ride-share vehicles will be directed to the Arena Shopping Park only.
No pick-ups will be permitted outside this designated area. Judds Lane will also close at the end of the event for collection purposes, so it won’t be accessible for taking guests home.
Nizlopi: The Support Act
Ed Sheeran has hailed Nizlopi as his ‘favourite band of all time,’ and the local act will support him during this show. Nizlopi is known to have inspired Ed Sheeran in his musical journey, adding an extra layer of significance to their performance together.
Previous Performances: A Reunion
This won’t be the first time Ed Sheeran has performed in Coventry. In 2021, he played an intimate set at HMV Empire. More recently, he turned up via a council initiative called Coventry Music to surprise aspiring musicians at schools across the city.
These performances highlight his ongoing commitment to supporting local talent.
With just days left before the show, fans are advised to plan accordingly and ensure they arrive early to avoid any potential delays. The venue has also urged those driving not to park in unauthorised car parks or surrounding streets, as these areas may be subject to enforcement due to local residents’ parking schemes.
