Ed Sheeran to Tour Australia in 2026 After Record-Breaking Shows

Ed Sheeran will return to Australian shores in 2026 as part of his all-new Loop tour. The event has big boots to fill, after Sheeran broke the Australian record for attendance at a ticketed event twice in the same month during his last visit.

In March 2023, he performed to crowds of 110,000 and 108,000 over two nights at the Melbourne Cricket Ground for the Mathematics Tour. The Divide Tour in 2018 was also a record breaker, after he sold more than one million tickets across Australia and New Zealand. It earned him the title of most tickets sold for an Australian, New Zealand tour, beating the 1997 record held by Dire Straits.

Sheeran was recently celebrated as a 12-time member of Spotify's Billions Club, and his 2017 hit Shape of You was Apple's most-streamed song for the past decade.
