Featuring 14 tracks all delivered in that inimitable Ed Sheeran style, the album is Sheeran’s fourth release of mathematic­ally titled collection­s and follows on from + (Plus), X (Multiply) and ÷ (Divide).

Other tracks to feature prominentl­y from = so far include additional singles in Overpass Graffiti, The Joker and the Queen, 2step and fan favourite Visiting Hours, all of which have been featured in recent concerts.

We’re giving you the opportunit­y to win one of four copies of the CD and hear for yourself the mastery that Ed Sheeran has over his craft! It’s the ideal precursor to his muchantici­pated Mathematic­s tour of New Zealand.

All of which leave fans wondering what he’s likely to include or leave

out of his next concert setlist — such is the extent of his evergrowin­g catalogue.

The tour has been receiving rave reviews.

Rachael Stray had this to say in part:

“. . . Ed performed in the centre of the venue, encircled by huge curved screens, and he was spinning around which was extremely impressive. This meant no matter where you were stood or sat, we all had a great view and could see Ed! Huge screens shaped like plectrums also displayed Ed and the accompanyi­ng graphics and videos . . . ”
