What did Ed say about his fourth album?

Speaking about the project, Ed said at the time of release: "Before I was signed in 2011, I made an EP called No.5 Collaborations Project. Since then, I’ve always wanted to do another, so I started No.6 on my laptop when I was on tour last year.

"I’m a huge fan of all the artists I’ve collaborated with and it’s been a lot of fun to make. No.6 Collaborations Project will be out everywhere on 12 July. It’s available to pre-order from midnight tonight local time and my song with Chance the Rapper and PnB Rock will be out everywhere at the same time x." sic

Did Ed go on tour with 'No.6 Collaborations Project'?

Ed did go on tour after the release of his fourth album, and did perform a couple of tracks from the record in the set lists - but the tour was mainly to promote his two subsequent albums after 'No.6...', namely '=' (2021) and '−' (2023).
