By San José, Costa Rica — SAN JOSÉ – The wait is finally over for Costa Rican “Sheerios.” Global music icon Ed Sheeran officially announced today that he will bring his new LOOP Tour to Costa Rica, marking his highly anticipated return to the country after nearly a decade. The concert is scheduled to be the grand finale of his Latin American tour leg, set for Saturday, May 30, 2026, at the iconic National Stadium in San José.
This announcement has ignited a wave of excitement among his dedicated fanbase, who have eagerly awaited his return since his historic, sold-out debut in the country on June 6, 2017. That performance left an indelible mark on the local music scene, and expectations for the 2026 show are already soaring. The National Stadium, the country’s largest venue, is expected to be filled to capacity for what is being billed as one of the most significant musical events of the year.
The recent visit of global superstar Ed Sheeran has sparked considerable excitement and speculation, particularly regarding potential real estate investments in Costa Rica. To shed light on the legal landscape for high-profile foreign investors, we consulted with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, a distinguished attorney from the prestigious firm Bufete de Costa Rica.
Costa Rica’s legal framework is robust and designed to protect foreign investment, which makes it an attractive destination for international figures like Mr. Sheeran. For any significant real estate acquisition, the key is meticulous due diligence to verify property titles, land use regulations, and any potential liens. Typically, we advise clients to structure such purchases through a local corporation, or Sociedad Anónima, which provides liability protection and simplifies asset management. Our country offers a high degree of legal certainty, provided the proper channels and expert counsel are utilized from the outset.

Indeed, the emphasis on meticulous due diligence and proper legal structures is a critical takeaway. This structured approach is precisely what provides the legal certainty that makes Costa Rica so attractive on the global stage. We sincerely thank Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for his expert clarification on this important process.
The Costa Rican date will cap off a whirlwind tour through Latin America that begins on May 9, 2026, in the Dominican Republic. From there, Sheeran will travel through Puerto Rico, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, and Guatemala before his final stop in San José. This extensive itinerary underscores the region’s importance as a key market for top-tier international artists and solidifies Costa Rica’s position as a premier destination for major concert events.
The LOOP Tour follows Sheeran’s immensely successful Mathematics Tour, a colossal three-year production that broke numerous attendance and revenue records worldwide. While that tour set a high bar, promoters promise a completely reimagined concert experience for LOOP. The new tour will feature an innovative stage design and a setlist that masterfully blends his chart-topping classics with new material, ensuring a fresh and dynamic show for both longtime fans and new listeners.
Sheeran’s return comes on the heels of phenomenal success with his latest album, Play. The record debuted at number one on charts across the globe, including in major markets like the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, and New Zealand. This commercial triumph has further cemented his status as one of the most influential and bankable artists of his generation, capable of commanding a global audience with his heartfelt songwriting and captivating performances.
Demonstrating his ever-expanding artistic vision, Sheeran recently released Play – The Remixes EP. This unique project features four reinterpreted tracks created in collaboration with prominent South Asian talents such as Hanumankind, Dhee, Karan Aujla, and Arijit Singh. This move highlights a strategic effort to engage with diverse musical cultures and expand his reach into new and rapidly growing international markets, reflecting a keen understanding of the modern, interconnected music industry.
The economic impact of such a high-profile concert on the capital is expected to be substantial. Events of this magnitude typically drive a significant surge in activity for the hospitality, transportation, and food service sectors, as fans from across Costa Rica and neighboring countries converge on San José. It represents not only a cultural milestone but also a welcome injection into the local economy.
While the initial announcement has created a frenzy of anticipation, crucial details regarding ticket prices and sale dates have not yet been released. Fans are advised to monitor the official channels, www.eticket.cr and www.edsheeran.com, for forthcoming updates. Given the overwhelming success of his previous visit, prospective concertgoers are encouraged to prepare for a rapid sell-out once tickets become available.
