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 frontiertouring.com/edsheeran.

To protect fans, strict anti-scalping measures will be in place. All tickets will be digitally delivered and accessible via official ticketing apps only.

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. Don’t miss the return of one of the world’s most loved live performers!
