Sheeran will perform 15 shows Down Under
Due to overwhelming demand, Ed Sheeran has added four more shows to his Australian and New Zealand Loop Tour in 2026, presented by Frontier Touring and MG Live.
Having sold over 2.5 million tickets across Australia and New Zealand to date, Sheeran’s Loop Tour sees the beloved singer returning to our shores with a new live show that’ll follow the release of his new album, Play, out Friday, September 12th. Performing at stadiums in Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch (his first show there in 11 years), before heading to Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide, Ed’s new live show promises to be filled with surprises, new music, as well as his biggest hits.
Presales for all shows are underway, with staggered times, ahead of the general sale on Tuesday, July 29th.
Led by lead singles “Azizam,” “Sapphire,” and “Old Phone,” Play marks the beginning of a fresh new chapter for Sheeran. The singer-songwriter’s latest work is an explorative, technicolor pop album that captures the fun, chaos, and heart of an artist reinvigorated by life and travel. Promising all-new stage production centred around the joyful, expansive sound of Play, the upcoming stadium shows will incorporate new visuals, intimate acoustic moments alongside his renowned loop pedal performances, and the full stadium sing-alongs only Ed Sheeran can deliver.
Inspired by musical cultures from around the globe – particularly Indian and Persian cultures and their surprising melodic connections to the Irish folk tradition he grew up with through shared scales, rhythms and melodies – Play encompasses an eclectic and borderless sound. On the album, Sheeran has teamed up with producers and musicians from across the globe, showcasing his limitless musicianship.
