Ed Sheeran announces second Perth show on 2026 Loop tour
Last week, the global pop superstar announced he would be coming to Australia on his Loop tour, kicking it all off in Perth on Saturday, January 31.
On Monday, it was announced that a second show on Sunday, February 1, has been added to the itinerary.
Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne also received another show each.
Having already sold more than 2.5 million tickets across Australia and New Zealand to date, Sheeran's Loop Tour will see the beloved singer returning to our shores with a brand-new live show that follows the release of his new album, Play out on September 12.
Sheeran's most recent visit to Optus Stadium in March 2023 set the record for the single largest crowd ever at the venue with 73,092.
He was also the first artist to host a concert at the stadium, rolling out his Divide Tour with back-to-back shows in March 2018.
Tickets for all shows – including the newly added dates – will be available to Frontier Members in Monday's presale.
With staggered start times for each city, fans can check the Frontier Touring website for relevant start times.
General public tickets will be available on Tuesday, also released at staggered times.

Singer Ed Sheeran reveals disturbing truth about life in the spotlight
Singer Ed Sheeran has revealed how his extreme stardom continues to put his family in danger. The global superstar, who recently announced his 2026 Australian tour, revealed on Sunday that he's been forced to employ extensive security measures to protect his children from extreme fans. Sheeran shares daughter Lyra, four, and Jupiter, three, with Cherry Seaborn. 'It's things that people don't really even take into account,' Sheeran told 60 Minutes. 'Like kidnap threats and s**t like that. We've had attempted break-ins, things left on my car. 'It's way more sinister than just fans turning up and wanting selfies.' Sheeran is fiercely protective of his daughters and does not allow fans to take photos of them. 'I've had some real arguments before,' he said. 'I'm fine with taking pictures, but I just think it's weird with a four-year-old and a three-year-old.' But Sheeran accepts: 'To be within the public sphere, you have to take it all, the good and the bad.' 'We have a level of security that probably won't change until I pass away. That's just our life now.' The English singer-songwriter returns to Perth for the first Aussie leg of his Loop Tour in January 2026, marking his first national performances since 2023. Announcing 11 shows across Australia and New Zealand in the summer, the four-time Grammy winner will touch down in WA for a singular Optus Stadium performance on January 31. He will then head east for two shows in each of Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne, before concluding the all-new tour with a one-off performance in Adelaide on March 5. Sheeran's forthcoming project Play — his eighth studio album — is due for release on September 12, with tracks Old Phone, Azizam and Sapphire already released. The album signals the conclusion of his three-year, 168-show Mathematics Tour that breached Aussie shores in 2023. 'Starting a brand new tour next year called the LOOP tour. New stage, new tricks, new set up, new songs and all the classics added in,' Sheeran told fans upon the tour announcement. Sheeran has impressively sold in excess of 2.5 million tickets in his previous jaunts through Australia and New Zealand. General sale tickets will begin from 3pm WST July 29, with pre-sale for Telstra and Frontier members staggered from July 25.
