About Ed Sheeran's LOOP Tour in Hollywood, Florida
The LOOP Tour is Ed Sheeran's sixth concert tour, supporting his album Play (2025). The tour began in Auckland, New Zealand in January 2026 and runs through December 2026, covering Oceania, North America, and Latin America. The North American leg wraps with two special nights at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida — the only back-to-back two-night stand on the tour — before a final show in Tampa on November 7.
What makes the Hollywood, FL stop unique is the venue. The rest of the North American tour fills stadiums. Hard Rock Live seats approximately 7,000, making the Hollywood shows the most intimate performances on the entire run. Aaron Rowe, a Dublin singer-songwriter, opens both nights. Sheeran's LOOP Tour name refers to his live looping technique — he builds songs on stage in real time, layering vocals and instruments without a backing band, which tends to be more pronounced in an arena setting than a stadium.

About Hard Rock Live, Hollywood, Florida
Hard Rock Live is the 7,000-seat concert venue inside Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino at 1 Seminole Way, Hollywood, FL 33314. It is one of South Florida's main mid-size concert venues, hosting major touring artists throughout the year. The casino complex includes multiple restaurants, bars, and a hotel — but for Ed Sheeran fans flying in or driving down, the accommodation options closest to the actual Hollywood Beach experience (rather than staying inside the casino resort) are in the Hollywood Beach strip, about 10 minutes away by car.
The venue has its own parking, and Uber and Lyft both serve the area well from Hollywood Beach. Post-show rideshares typically have a 10–15 minute wait on busy nights, so planning a pick-up location slightly away from the main venue entrance usually helps.
Getting to Hard Rock Live from Hollywood Beach
If you're staying in Hollywood Beach — whether at The Mariner Suites, Ultra Blue Apartments, or anywhere else on the Broadwalk strip — Hard Rock Live is about 10 minutes by car or rideshare. It's significantly easier than getting to a Miami venue from Hollywood Beach.
From FLL Airport: ~10–15 minutes — the airport is between the beach and the venue.
From Miami Beach: ~40–50 minutes north, depending on I-95 traffic.
From Fort Lauderdale: ~20 minutes south.
Parking at the venue: Available onsite at Seminole Hard Rock, paid.
Rideshare tip: Book your return ride before the encore — post-show surge pricing and wait times increase fast outside large venues.
Where to Stay Near Hard Rock Live for Ed Sheeran 2026
Staying inside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel is the closest option to the venue, but it's a casino resort with resort pricing. The Hollywood Beach strip — 10 minutes away — gives you the Atlantic Ocean, the 2.5-mile Broadwalk, 50+ restaurants, and a genuinely beachy base for two nights of concerts. For fans flying in for the shows, it also makes the days on either side of the concert actually enjoyable rather than just casino-adjacent hotel time.
Ultra Spaces operates two properties on Hollywood Beach, both a short rideshare from the venue, both with full kitchens for pre-show meals and post-show late-night snacks, and neither charges a resort fee.
