Ed Sheeran: Global Superstar Returns To New Zealand + Australia This Summer With His All-New Loop Tour
Frontier Touring and MG Live are thrilled to announce the hotly anticipated return of global superstar Ed Sheeran, who is heading back to New Zealand and Australia next January, February and March with his all-new Loop Tour for a massive run of stadium shows. Having already sold over 2.5 million tickets across Australia and New Zealand to date, Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour sees the beloved singer returning to our shores with a brand-new live show that'll follow the release of his new album, Play (pre-order here) – out Friday 12 September. 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. Sheeran is an era-defining artist who has sold nearly 200 million records globally. Recently he was celebrated as a 12-time member of Spotify's Billions Club, while Apple Music revealed his 2017 hit 'Shape Of You' was their most-streamed song of the last decade. Moreover, Ed recently surpassed 100 million monthly listeners on Spotify, seeing him become the platform's 4thmost-listened to artist in the world. Last on our shores in 2023 – when he played to a record-breaking 200,000 fans across two nights at Melbourne's iconic MCG – Sheeran's mammoth Mathematics Tour spanned countless shows across the globe, continuing his streak of breaking records and making history. Frontier Members can access presale tickets from Monday 28 July (times staggered). Tickets go on sale to the general public from Tuesday 29 July (times staggered). For full tour and ticket information visit To protect fans, strict anti-scalping measures will be in place. All tickets will be digitally delivered and accessible via official ticketing apps only. For full FAQs and ticketing details, visit or Fans are strongly advised to only purchase tickets from official ticketing partners. 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, technicolour 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 singalongs 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. With a brand-new album, a renewed creative spirit and a catalogue of global hits, Ed Sheeran's 2026 stadium tour is set to be one of the most anticipated live events of the year.

Ed Sheeran announces return to Australia following record-breaking tour
Ed Sheeran will return to Australian shores in 2026 as part of his all-new Loop tour. The event has big boots to fill, after Sheeran broke the Australian record for attendance at a ticketed event twice in the same month during his last visit. In March 2023, he performed to crowds of 110,000 and 108,000 over two nights at the Melbourne Cricket Ground for the Mathematics Tour. The Divide Tour in 2018 was also a record breaker, after he sold more than one million tickets across Australia and New Zealand. It earned him the title of most tickets sold for an Australian, New Zealand tour, beating the 1997 record held by Dire Straits. Sheeran was recently celebrated as a 12-time member of Spotify's Billions Club, and his 2017 hit Shape of You was Apple's most-streamed song for the past decade.

Ed Sheeran Australian tour dates: English pop superstar to return to Perth in January 2026 for Loop Tour
English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran will return to Perth for the first Aussie leg of his Loop Tour in January 2026. Announcing 11 shows across Australia and New Zealand in the summer, the four-time Grammy winner will touch down in WA for a single Optus Stadium show on January 31. He will then play two shows in each of Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne, before concluding the tour with a one-off show in Adelaide on March 5. The Shape of You singer, 34, had been dropping clues that he'll be returning to our shores for weeks, with Frontier Touring leaving a trail of Easter Eds across their socials featuring artwork from his forthcoming album in anticipation. 'Pressing 'Play' in 3,2,1... Tue 22 Jul 🩷 4pm AEST / 6pm NZS,' a post on Monday was captioned. 'Can't wait to see my tedddddy again,' one fan wrote in response to the tour tease. Sheeran's Mathematics Tour comprises a staggering 168 shows, commencing in April 23, 2022 and is scheduled to wrap up in Las Vegas on September 20 this year. His forthcoming project Play — his eighth studio album — is due for release on September 12. The 34-year-old's songs Azizam, Sapphire, and Old Phone were released earlier this year. Sheeran's most recent Optus Stadium performance, the final Australian leg of his Mathematics Tour in March 2023, holds the record for the single largest crowd at the venue with 73,092. The star was the first ever artist to host a concert at Optus Stadium, rolling out his Divide Tour with back-to-back shows in March 2018. Both of his previous trans-Tasman tours amassed in excess of one million tickets. General sale tickets will begin from July 29, with pre-sale for Telstra and Frontier members staggered from July 25.
