Singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has announced details of yet another tour that is set to take place in the new year. 

The 'You Need Me, I Don't Need You' star will go back on the road in January 2012 for a small string of dates at some well-respected venues in support of his forthcoming album, '+'. 

He is also due to play live at this coming weekend's Reading and Leeds festivals, and will embark upon an extensive run of dates in October, most of which are selling out very quickly.

He will perform at the following locations in early January:

• January 10 - Edinburgh Picture House
• January 13 - Manchester Academy
• January 17 - Wolverhampton Civic Hall
• January 20 - O2's Brixton Academy in London

Tickets for these new dates are due to go on sale at 9am on Thursday, August 25 and you can watch his latest music video below:
