Is Ed Sheeran's Aussie tour coming to Perth?
The Shape of You singer has been dropping clues that he'll be returning to our shores for weeks, with his local tour management joining the party by leaving a trail of Easter Eds all over their socials.

Fans have also been encouraged to visit the dedicated landing page for the tour for updates, frontiertouring.com/letsplay.
Followers of the 34-year-old have expressed their excitement at experiencing his catalogue of hits Down Under once more, following Sheeran's Mathematics Tour of Australia and New Zealand in 2023.
'Can't wait to see my tedddddy again,' one fan wrote in response to the tour tease.
Another asked: 'Do you think the tickets will come out at this time tomorrow? Or the tour will be announced? Just want to make sure I'm mentally ready!'
The former busker's singular Perth gig at Optus Stadium became the highest ticketed event in WA's history, with more than 70,000 fans flooding the precinct to hear his signature sound.
No cities have yet been confirmed as tour stops, though all is sure to be revealed at 2pm WST.
Earlier, Sheeran had visited Australia in 2018 with his Divide Tour.
In May, the globetrotting 34-year-old launched The Mathematics Tour in Europe, and had been leaving traces of his travel antics on TikTok as fans begged for the star to appear in their location.
However, the Lego House hitmaker responded to one particular comment regarding his plans to return to Australia, which all but confirmed his plans. Ed Sheeran responds to a fan's plea to return to Australia. Credit: Ed Sheeran / TikTok
'How does coming back to Australia soon sound to you?' the fan asked.
Nonchalantly, Sheeran responded: 'Start of 2026.'
PerthNow reached out to the star's management at the time, who preferred not to double-down on the announcement but hinted further news might be on the way.
'We aren't in the habit of pre-announcing announcements — but there will be news on our plans for 26 later this summer,' a representative for Sheeran said.
Sheeran's eighth studio album Play is set for release on September 12.
The star has already released tracks Old Phone, Azizam and Sapphire as he drip feeds fans his new music.

Nicole Kidman learned make-up from movie work
Nicole Kidman learned how to do her make-up by watching professionals on movie sets. The Hollywood actress has revealed working with make-up artists, costume designers and directors over the years has helped her understand how to apply cosmetics properly and use them to help change up her look whenever she wants to do something different. She told WWD: "When you're working with someone like [director] Baz Luhrmann and [costume designer] Catherine Martin, there's a very specific look they want for the character. "I started to realize, as I was being created by others and experimenting, they were teaching me how to use makeup in particular ways and create characters. I could then go and use that in real life." She added: "When I started experimenting with make-up and skin care myself, I went through so many different stages: lots of masks, this and that. I learned I can change aspects of my face, augment things, and it became much more creative and exciting." Nicole recently signed up to be a brand ambassador for cosmetics company Clé de Peau Beauté and she insisted she was already a fan of their products before the deal came about. She told the publication: "I'd already been using so many of their products. It wasn't like I was going to have to discover them, and I was in." Nicole previously revealed changing her look so many times over the years took a toll on her hair. She used to sport long curls, but she previously revealed she lost her "ringlets" because she "tortured them to death" by straightening her hair so much. She told Who magazine: "I really wanted to have that suntanned skin and long blonde hair. I wanted to conform and be the Aussie beach girl. And I was never going to be that ... "I wish I had my curls back. I tortured them to death. I always say, 'Don't ruin the ringlets!'" She later added to the The Sunday Morning Herald: "Do I wish that I hadn't screwed up my hair by straightening it all the time? Sure." Nicole also admitted she wishes she'd been "more careful" with sun cream in her younger years after previously dealing with skin cancer. She added to the publication: "I've had skin cancer; do I wish I'd been more careful with the sun? Yes, to all those things. "But am I grateful to be around? Oh, yeah. And am I willing to share my knowledge, what I've learnt along the way? Absolutely."

Moby teams-up with Russian teen star for new single
Moby relished the experience of collaborating across timezones with Øneheart. The 59-year-old star joined forces with Øneheart, one of the Russian producers behind Snowfall, the TikTok hit, to record lagrange point, and Moby has admitted to loving the experience of working across borders and timezones with the young star. He said: "One of my favourite things about collaborating with Øneheart was the fact that as i was working on lagrange point as the sun was setting in Los Angeles, Dmitry was working on it as the sun was rising where he lived in Russia." Moby - whose real name is Richard Hall - observed that he worked on the track while enjoying the "perfect backdrop" in Los Angeles. The music star explained: "The fact that this quiet, spacious music was travelling instantaneously through 12 timezones and thousands and thousands of empty miles of air and space somehow created the perfect backdrop for the collaboration." lagrange point is the lead single for the album Samsara Passengers, which is a collaboration between Øneheart, Dean Korso and Leadwave - Øneheart's dad - along with guest artists. Moby has already sold more than 20 million records in his career and is credited with helping to bring dance music to a mainstream audience in the 90s. However, he acknowledged earlier this year that fame and fortune are "two of the most destructive forces on the planet". Speaking from his home in Los Angeles, Moby told Sky News: "I think fame and fortune are, probably, empirically two of the most destructive forces on the planet. I mean, if fame and fortune fixed things, Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse would still be making records. "I guess it's a very easy system to buy into, especially in a place like... in New York, in Los Angeles, in these big cities that are driven by ostentation and consumption and the need for external validation. It's hard to resist those temptations. But then ... you look at the consequences of that. "I'd rather try and live a rational life and not necessarily let other people's concerns dictate what my concerns should be."
