Ed Sheeran is bringing his Loop Tour to Australia and New Zealand in early 2026 — and due to overwhelming demand, he’s now added additional shows in Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Auckland.
The stadium tour kicks off Jan. 16 at Auckland’s Go Media Stadium and will continue through New Zealand before heading to Australia for shows in every major capital city. The newly announced concerts include a second date at Perth’s Optus Stadium, plus third shows in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne, bringing the total number of dates to 15 across both countries.
Tickets for all dates go on sale Tuesday, July 29 at staggered times, while Frontier Touring members can access a 24-hour pre-sale beginning Monday, July 28.
The Loop Tour will support Sheeran’s next studio album, Play, set to be released Sept. 12 via Warner Music. Described as “an explorative, technicolour pop album that captures the fun, chaos, and heart of an artist reinvigorated by life and travel,” the project includes singles “Azizam,” “Sapphire,” and “Old Phone.” The album marks Sheeran’s first major release since Autumn Variations in 2023.
Already one of the most successful touring acts in Australian history, Sheeran has sold more than 2.5 million tickets across Australia and New Zealand to date. His 2023 +–=÷× (Mathematics) Tour broke records across multiple cities, including the highest single-day ticket sales in Sydney history.
The new dates once again see Sheeran performing in massive stadium venues, including Sydney’s Accor Stadium, Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium, Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium, and Adelaide Oval. All shows are licensed all ages, though children aged 14 and under must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
The tour is presented by Frontier Touring and MG Live, with full ticketing information and VIP options available at frontiertouring.com/edsheeran.
