Ed Sheeran Announces 2026 Australian Tour Dates and Venues

Ed Sheeran’s 2026 Australian Tour: Get Ready for a Musical Adventure!

Ed Sheeran, the ginger-haired troubadour who’s stolen hearts worldwide, is coming back to Australia in 2026 with his brand-new Loop Tour. After dropping hints on social media and sparking a frenzy among fans, the global superstar has confirmed a massive run of stadium shows across the country, promising an unforgettable experience filled with new tunes, classic hits, and his signature loop pedal magic. If you’ve ever sung your heart out to “Shape of You” or swayed to “Thinking Out Loud,” this is one tour you won’t want to miss.

A Big Return Down Under

Ed Sheeran is making a big comeback to Australia and New Zealand in 2026—and it's just gotten even bigger. Originally set as an 11-show stadium tour across both countries, the run has now been extended due to overwhelming demand from fans.

Promoters Frontier Touring and MG Live have added four more shows in Australia, along with a second date in Auckland, bringing the total number of performances to 16. The tour, part of Ed's Loop Tour, will kick off in Auckland in mid-January and wrap up in Adelaide in early March 2026.

These shows will follow the release of Ed Sheeran’s upcoming album, Play, which is set to drop on Friday, September 12, 2025. Fans can expect a massive setlist, fresh music, and unforgettable live moments.

Ed Sheeran, on his official X (Twitter), recently shared a post: "Extra dates added for the Australia & New Zealand LOOP tour 2026! Tickets on sale this Tuesday, 29th July 2025"
