The announcement came from Harin Fernando, the Minister of Tourism, during a press briefing in Colombo on Monday.

Fernando revealed, "Recently, a company has expressed interest in bringing Ed Sheeran, one of the key singers, to Sri Lanka in January or February." He identified Cinnamon Life as the firm spearheading efforts to bring the renowned artist to the island nation.

If realized, this concert would mark the return of a high-profile international pop star performance to Sri Lanka after a significant hiatus.
