Sheeran kicked off his Mathematics tour in London in March and is scheduled to perform across the U.K., Europe, Australia, New Zealand through March 2023.

The singer is in the midst of a five-show run at Wembley Stadium in London, where The Late Late Show is filming this week for the first time in three years.

Sheeran told Late Late Show host James Corden that he plans to announce the U.S. dates "by the end of the year."

"We're basically finalizing everything," Sheeran said.

"I'm super excited to bring this tour -- I mean, it's an insane-looking tour," he added. "We basically planned it from the end of the Divide tour ... I was like, if we come back, we need to do all of the bells and whistles."

"The stage is nuts -- things revolve, bits go up, we got fireworks, flames, a band -- it's a whole thing," Sheeran said. "But I'm really, really proud of the show."

Sheeran released his fourth studio album, =, in October. The album features the singles "Bad Habits," "Shivers," "Overpass Graffiti," "The Joker and the Queen" and "2step."
