We had just been thinking out loud that ginger pop star Ed Sheeran was due for a visit Down Under – after all, it's been more than two years since he played to crowds of 110,000 and 108,000 over two nights at the MCG in March 2023. Well, after teasing a return to "Oz" during performances in Europe, Sheeran has officially confirmed the details of his 2026 Aussie tour. And yep, he'll be coming to Melbourne.
The beloved singer-songwriter will bring his Loop Tour to Marvel Stadium in February – and we're looking forward to hearing fresh tracks from his new album Play, like ‘Sapphire’ and ‘Old Phone’, along with all the classics (we’re manifesting ‘Shape of You’ and ‘Give Me Love’). So if you're keen to grab tickets, here's everything you need to know.
