Ed Sheeran broke the attendance records on his last visit (2023), and yes, the rumours that have been circling are true, he is heading back to Australia and New Zealand , with his Loop tour, for a massive run of shows kicking off in January 2026.

Ed will be kicking off the shows in Auckland on the 16th of January, then Wellington and Christchurch before he makes his way to Australia. In 2025, Perth was the last city to catch Ed, this time ’round – they will be first up, on the 31st of March. From there he heads to Sydney, then Brisbane, Melbourne and finishing up in Adelaide.
