Ed Sheeran Announces Three NZ Stadium Shows for 2026

Ed Sheeran announced an eleven-show Loop Tour across New Zealand and Australia for January to March 2026, including stadium performances in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Adelaide.
The tour follows Sheeran's 2023 Mathematics Tour that included record-breaking shows in Australia and New Zealand, and comes just before his eighth album Play releases on September 12, 2025.
Sheeran described the Loop Tour on Instagram as featuring a new stage, new tricks, new setup, new songs, and all the classics, while expressing eagerness to return to the region he calls home.
Sheeran’s previous tours in Australasia have sold over 2.5 million tickets, and his March 2023 Optus Stadium concert set an attendance record of 73,092 while breaking Melbourne Cricket Ground records with 217,500 fans across two shows.
The Loop Tour solidifies Sheeran’s status as a leading international act in Australasia, poised to engage fans with fresh material and large-scale stadium experiences starting in early 2026.
