British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, one of the best-selling music artists of all time and everyone’s favourite first-dance singer, is performing in Sydney this week as part of his Loop Tour, before heading to Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide.

This force behind stick-in-your-head hits such as ‘Castle on the Hill’, ‘Thinking Out Loud’ and ‘Perfect’ was last in Australia in 2023. Now, fresh off his New Zealand leg of the tour and shows in Perth, he’s heading to Accor Stadium at Sydney Olympic Park this week to belt out his absolute heartstring-pulling bangers. Expect to sing along to songs off his brand-new album Play – as well as his most-loved chart-toppers.

When are the Ed Sheeran Sydney shows?

Ed Sheeran is performing three shows in Sydney: Friday, February 13, Saturday, February 14 (Valentine’s Day!), and Sunday, February 15.

How to get to the Ed Sheeran Sydney concerts

Ed Sheeran’s shows are at Accor Stadium, inside Sydney Olympic Park, which is well-connected to public transport (which is free for concert-goers – just flash your concert ticket). Parking can be a bit difficult, so the best way to get to the concert is to catch a train from Central to Olympic Park Station, with trains also departing Strathfield every few minutes. From there, it’s a short walk to Accor Stadium.

What time will Ed Sheeran come on stage in Sydney?

Likely around 8pm. Doors open at 4pm, with the awesome support acts kicking off at 5.15pm (more on that below). We’d be arriving sooner rather than later.

Are there any Ed Sheeran Sydney tickets left?

Yes. A handful of tickets are still available for Sheeran’s Sydney shows. Get in quick, over here.

What can I bring to the Ed Sheeran Sydney shows at Accor Stadium?

Here are the main things to remember:

You can bring:

Don't go overboard with your bag – the maximum bag size is 30cm x 40cm. Umbrellas are all good as long as you don't put them up in the seating area. You can bring a refillable water bottle – but it can’t be metal or glass.

You can’t bring:

The usuals: Alcoholic beverages, glass or metal containers, flares, weapons (obvs), laser pointers, pro cameras, tripods, drones, flag poles, big banners or flags, whistles, musical instruments, confetti, scooters, skateboards, bikes, etc. Check out the full conditions of entry here.

Where to get Ed Sheeran merch

The Sydney pop-up is at Westfield Sydney, open Wednesday, Feb 11 to Sunday, Feb 15, from 9.30am to 7pm (Thursday opens until 9pm, Sunday opens at 10am). Each day, the team will give out limited-edition posters to the first 100 people through the door.
