Global pop phenomenon Ed Sheeran is officially bringing his highly anticipated Loop Tour to Australia and New Zealand in early 2026 and it’s shaping up to be one of the biggest live music moments of the year.

WHAT TO EXPECT
The Loop Tour is tipped to be Sheeran’s most ambitious production yet, and the Aussie leg will be the first to experience it. Alongside a setlist blending hits like Shape of You, Thinking Out Loud and Bad Habits, fans can also expect live debuts from the Play album.
Sheeran has also hinted at some personal tributes during his time down under — referencing his late mates Shane Warne and Michael Gudinski — though he’s reassured fans the shows will be “celebratory, not somber.”
