Ed Sheeran: Global English pop star teases return to Australia for ‘Start of 2026' in casual TikTok comment
English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has casually confirmed that his much-anticipated return to Australia will take place in early 2026, three years on from his last run of stadium shows. In May, the globetrotting 34-year-old launched The Mathematics Tour in Europe, and has been leaving traces of his travel antics on TikTok as fans beg for the star to appear in their location. Dropping his most recent adventures in Madrid to the platform, the Lego House hitmaker responded to one particular comment regarding his plans to return Down Under. 'How does coming back to Australia soon sound to you?' the fan asked. Nonchalantly, Sheeran responded, 'Start of 2026'. PerthNow reached out to the star's management, who preferred not to double-down on the announcement but hinted at potential news later in the year. 'We aren't in the habit of pre-announcing announcements — but there will be news on our plans for 26 later this summer,' a representative for Sheeran said. Remarkably, the four-time Grammy winner's most recent Australian campaign in 2023 featured an earlier version of The Mathematics Tour — which launched globally in Dublin in April 2022. The former busker's singular Perth gig at Optus Stadium became the highest ticketed event in WA's history, with more than 70,000 fans flooding the precinct to hear his signature sound. Written as '+–=÷×', the same name was given to a compilation album Sheeran released in September 2024, and follows a theme of mathematical numbers and figures from previous works. On social media, the star has been met with encouragement from Aussies as they anticipate his next venture to their country. Pleas of 'Can't wait to see you in Australia' and 'We miss you' are a common theme. Sheeran's next album — titled Play — is set for release on September 12, which would likely usher in a new tour campaign and chapter in the star's 15-year professional career. Releasing tracks Azizam and Old Phone in recent months, the project marks the father of two's eighth studio album. With iconic songs Shape of You, Perfect, and Photograph all boasting in excess of two billion streams respectively on Spotify, Sheeran is the platform's third-most followed global artist with 90 million monthly listeners. The singer has collaborated with the likes of Adele, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift and Beyonce, punctuating his status as a pioneer of the pop genre.
