Ed Sheeran plays Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, 1 Seminole Way, Hollywood, FL 33314 on Thursday October 29 and Friday October 30, 2026. Both shows start at 8:00 PM. These are the only back-to-back two-night shows on his entire North American tour and the most intimate venue on the run. Rooms near the show are going fast.
If you are still looking for where to stay for Ed Sheeran in Hollywood, FL, stop looking at Miami hotels. Hard Rock Live is not in Miami. It is in Hollywood, and Hollywood Beach puts you 10 minutes from the venue with the Atlantic Ocean right outside your door. Miami Beach is 40 to 50 minutes away and costs more.
The Mariner Suites at 702 N Surf Rd and Ultra Blue Apartments at 315 Buchanan St are the two best options in Hollywood Beach for the Ed Sheeran shows. Both are about 10 minutes from Hard Rock Live, both have full kitchens, neither charges a resort fee, and both book direct at ultra-spaces.com.

Ed Sheeran in Hollywood, FL to Show Details
The LOOP Tour is Ed Sheeran's sixth concert tour, supporting his album Play (2025). The North American leg closes with two nights at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, FL. Hard Rock Live holds approximately 7,000 guests, making it the most intimate venue on the entire North American run. Every other show on the leg is a stadium. These two nights are different.
The LOOP Tour name refers to Ed's live looping technique. He builds songs on stage in real time, layering vocals and instruments without a backing band. In an arena this size, that lands differently than it would in a 70,000-seat stadium.
Show 2: Friday, October 30, 2026 at 8:00 PM
Opening act: Aaron Rowe (both nights)
Venue: Hard Rock Live, 1 Seminole Way, Hollywood, FL 33314
Capacity: ~7,000 to most intimate venue on the North American tour
Tickets: From $185 at myhrl.com and Ticketmaster
Runtime: Approximately 2 to 2.5 hours
Why Hollywood Beach Beats Miami for This Show
People search "Ed Sheeran concert Miami" because Miami is the big name in South Florida. But the show is not in Miami. Hard Rock Live is in Hollywood, FL. If you book a hotel in Miami Beach, you are booking a 40 to 50 minute drive each way, in South Florida traffic, on a concert night. That is not fun.
Hollywood Beach puts you 10 minutes from Hard Rock Live with a completely different upside: the Atlantic Ocean, the 2.5-mile Hollywood Beach Broadwalk, 50 plus restaurants, and no resort fee. For the same price or less than a Miami Beach hotel, you get a better base, a shorter drive, and a beach you can actually use before and after the shows.
Flying in? Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) is 10 to 15 minutes from both Hollywood Beach and Hard Rock Live. It is the right airport for this trip. Miami International is 50 to 60 minutes away.
