Ed Sheeran announces new tour but leaves fans fuming with 'crazy' decision
Ed Sheeran may still be touring but the hit singer has announced yet another tour ready for next year. However, his decision hasn't left all his fans happy. After announcing he will be performing his Loop Tour in 2026, Ed announced the opening dates - and there were none in the UK. Instead, he revealed dates in Australia and New Zealand between January and March. The Shape of You singer, 33, took to Instagram to make the announcement. Sharing an image of him holding up his guitar in front of his adoring fans, as well as a tour poster, Ed wrote: "Starting a brand new tour next year called the LOOP tour. "New stage, new tricks, new set up, new songs and all the classics added in. We kick it off in Australia and New Zealand in Jan, Feb, March 2026, which is always the best time, I can't wait to be back. Tickets on sale Tues 29th July, see you all there x" While fans fully expect to see the tour in their own country, the decision to only announce Australia and New Zealand seemed to bother some users. While there were no UK dates, his US fans weren't best pleased, either. One user commented: "COME BACK TO THE US NOWWWWWW." Another agreed as they pleaded: "Pls announce USA dates soon." One user also said: "So crazy that you kinda stay on tour! Really thought you'd go on a break haha but so excited omgggg see you in 2027 then hopefully."
