He will then play two shows in each of Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne, before concluding the tour with a one-off show in Adelaide on March 5.
The Shape of You singer, 34, had been dropping clues that he'll be returning to our shores for weeks, with Frontier Touring leaving a trail of Easter Eds across their socials featuring artwork from his forthcoming album in anticipation.

'Can't wait to see my tedddddy again,' one fan wrote in response to the tour tease.
Sheeran's Mathematics Tour comprises a staggering 168 shows, commencing in April 23, 2022 and is scheduled to wrap up in Las Vegas on September 20 this year.
His forthcoming project Play — his eighth studio album — is due for release on September 12.

Sheeran's most recent Optus Stadium performance, the final Australian leg of his Mathematics Tour in March 2023, holds the record for the single largest crowd at the venue with 73,092.
The star was the first ever artist to host a concert at Optus Stadium, rolling out his Divide Tour with back-to-back shows in March 2018.
Both of his previous trans-Tasman tours amassed in excess of one million tickets.
General sale tickets will begin from July 29, with pre-sale for Telstra and Frontier members staggered from July 25.

Ozzy Osbourne death: Kelly Osbourne shares heartbreaking post after father's passing, saying ‘I am so sad'
Kelly Osbourne, daughter of Black Sabbath frontman and the godfather of heavy metal, Ozzy Osbourne, has shared an update on the emotional toll of losing her dad. The beloved singer passed away, surrounded by family, on Tuesday, aged 76, with his contribution to music and pop culture celebrated by the world. Making her first solo statement since Ozzy's death, Kelly said she was sad and unhappy. 'I feel unhappy,' Kelly wrote on Instagram, sharing an update with her 3.4 million followers. 'I am so sad. 'I lost the best friend I ever had.' Kelly finished her Instagram story update with a broken-heart emoji. Her statement comes after the family shared a joint statement on Tuesday, which confirmed the music legend's death. 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,' the statement from Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis read. 'He was with his family and surrounded by love. 'We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.' Born John Michael 'Ozzy' Osbourne, the heavy-metal and reality TV star had a decades-long career in the spotlight. As frontman of Black Sabbath, he was at the forefront of the heavy metal scene - a deeper, darker offshoot of hard rock. His theatrical stage presence, including once biting off the head of a bat, and styling himself as the Prince of Darkness marked him out as a controversial figure. Later, he would reveal himself to be a doddering and sweet father on the reality TV show The Osbournes. He had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019. Osbourne was twice inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame - once with Sabbath in 2006 and again in 2024 as a solo artist. The original Sabbath line-up reunited for the first time in 20 years in July 2025 in the United Kingdom for what Osborne said would be his final concert. 'Let the madness begin!' he told 42,000 fans before giving a performance that will go down in the music history books. - with Reuters, AAP

Kelly Osbourne's heartbreaking statement about father Ozzy's death
Kelly Osbourne has addressed the death of her father, Ozzy Osbourne, at age 76. Taking to her Instagram Stories today — just two days after saying goodbye to her dad — the host, 40, wrote, 'I feel unhappy I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had.' Earlier this week, the Osbourne family announced in a statement that the rocker died 'surrounded by love.' 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.' Ozzy's death came just weeks after he performed at his final Black Sabbath show on July 5 in Birmingham, England. While backstage at the emotional farewell concert, Kelly got engaged to her boyfriend Sid Wilson. The pair share son Sidney, who was born in 2022. One day later, the star shared the news on Instagram with a video from the proposal. Wilson, 48, popped the question in front of Ozzy, Sharon, 72, and her brother Jack, 39. 'Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world,' the Slipknot DJ said, as Ozzy joked, 'F**k off, you're not marrying my daughter.' Wilson continued, 'Nothing would make me happier than to spend the rest of my life with you. So, in front of your family and all of our friends, Kelly, will you marry me?' The TV personality looked shocked as she said yes and accepted the ring. The couple kissed and hugged as their family and the show's crew cheered. Kelly captioned the sweet clip, 'Oh and this happened yesterday!' Days later, she defended her dad against online rumours that the musician, who revealed he had Parkinson's disease in 2020, was dying. 'So, there's this video going around on social media, and it's supposed to be my dad, but it's AI,' Kelly told her fans. 'And it has a voice like my dad's David Attenborough or something.' She continued, 'And it starts out saying, 'I don't need a doctor to tell me that I'm going to die. I know I'm going to die.'' 'What the f**k is wrong with you people?' Kelly added. 'Why would you spend your time making a video like this?' She went on to state that Ozzy was 'not dying.' 'Yes, he has Parkinson's, and yes, his mobility is completely different than it used to be,' Ozzy and Sharon's daughter said, 'but he's not dying. What is wrong with you?' Kelly also slammed the rumours that Ozzy and Sharon had a 'suicide pact,' which her mother spoke about over 15 years ago. 'That was bulls**t my mum said to get attention one time,' Kelly explained, noting, 'And my dad's not dying. Stop.' The young Osbourne first rose to fame on her family's reality show in the early aughts. Ozzy and Sharon, who tied the knot in 1982, documented their family's day-to-day life on the MTV series The Osbournes. The show ran for four seasons, from 2002 to 2005, and featured the patriarch, matriarch, Kelly, and Jack. Ozzy and Sharon's eldest daughter, Aimee, 41, opted not to participate. Over the years, Kelly has spoken about her tight-knit relationship with her dad. In May, she even shared how close Ozzy is with her two-year-old son. 'Oh my God, they're best friends,' Kelly gushed to People. 'So, favourite time of the day is night-time because [Sidney] leaves me and gets in bed with my mum and dad because I'm staying in their house right now while my house is getting ready. 'And he goes and gets in bed with them and they have cartoon time together and it is the sweetest thing ever. I have to literally rip him out.' Kelly also opened up about her close bond with her brother. Jack was previously diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, but has continued to work in the industry. 'To be honest with you, I still don't know how I feel about it because it's so unique and individual to every single person,' Kelly said of her brother's diagnosis. 'Everybody that has MS presents differently and I think that's why it's so hard to diagnose and that's why so many people for so long go undiagnosed.' 'And seeing what my brother goes through and how brave he is and just what an incredible human he is despite having relapsing and remitting MS, you would never know if he didn't choose to tell you,' added the star. In 2022, she called Jack 'my biggest confidant.' She told Entertainment Tonight that he is her 'first phone call every single day.' However, Kelly and Aimee don't share that same sibling energy. 'We're just really different. She doesn't understand me and I don't understand her,' Kelly confessed on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast in 2021. Despite her strained relationship with Aimee, Kelly detailed in 2019 just how special the family's reality show was with just the four of them. 'The first season was such a magical time in my family's life because we had no idea what we were doing. We had no idea that the show would be so successful,' Kelly told PeopleTV's 'Reality Check' at the time. 'We didn't know how people would perceive us or anything.' As she put it, 'I think that is the most raw and vulnerable you will see any family on TV. And then it all kind of was like an explosion of too much reality for us.'
