Ed Sheeran To Return To Australia In 2026 For ‘Loop' Stadium Tour
Ed Sheeran has added a run of Australian dates to his Loop world tour, which will see him return down under in early 2026. The multi-platinum English singer-songwriter will be touring in support of his forthcoming eighth studio album Play, which is set for release on Friday, September 12th. It is set to be his longest tenure in Australia to date, with his run of shows spanning from late January to early March for a total of five weeks. The full list of tour dates and ticketing info can be found below. The Loop world tour, which will kick off in New Zealand ahead of the Australian tour dates, is described on Sheeran's social media thusly: 'New stage, new tricks, new set up, new songs and all the classics added in.' The shows will mark Sheeran's first locally in nearly three years, having last visited in 2023 as part of his +–=÷x world tour. That run saw him perform at the Melbourne Cricket Ground to some 219,000 fans across two nights at the venue – setting an attendance record. Ed Sheeran – 'Sapphire' Play, the follow-up to his 2023 albums – and Autumn Variations, has thus far been flanked by the release of three singles: 'Azizam', 'Old Phone' and 'Sapphire'. 'Azizam' has found success locally, peaking at number 20 on the ARIA Singles Chart and achieving Gold certification. 2025 has also seen Sheeran release the single 'Drive' as part of the soundtrack to the Joseph Kosinski film F1, collaborating with John Mayer and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl on the song. Sheeran first visited Australia in 2011, promoting his debut album +. It has gone on to become one of his most visited countries, ranking fourth in his most performed in behind Germany, the US and his native UK. Sheeran became well known in Australia for his ongoing 'bromance' with tour promoter Michael Gudinski, dedicating his 2021 song 'Visiting Hours' to the late Frontier Touring founder and flying in with his family to both attend and perform at his funeral in Melbourne that same year.

Lewis Capaldi to make good on 2023 cancelled shows with new December tour
Scottish singer and songwriter Lewis Capaldi continues his triumphant comeback with an Australian tour in December. After two years away from the spotlight to address his mental health and 'adjust to the impact of my Tourette's,' Capaldi is rewarding loyal fans who stood by him. Capaldi cancelled his Splendour in the Grass headlining set and sold out national tour in 2023 after he lost his voice and experienced pronounced tics during his performance at the UK's famed Glastonbury festival. Fans who had tickets to those shows will get first shot at the new shows. The Australian tour opens at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on December 4, then heads to Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena on December 6, Rod Laver Arena on December 12, Adelaide Entertainment Centre on December 15 and RAC Arena, Perth on December 17. A Past Ticket Holders Presale opens on July 10 (local time) with eligible fans notified via an email from Secret Sounds with access information. The 28-year-old stream sensation made an emotional return with an unannounced but widely guessed 'secret' set to the Glastonbury festival last week. 'Second time's a charm on this one,' he told the crowd during his performance. 'I just wanted to come and finish what I couldn't finish last time.' It was on that same stage in 2023 that Capaldi's health issues came to a head and he was unable to go on, with the crowd swelling loudly to finish his beloved breakthrough hit 'Somebody You Loved'. He closed his 2025 Glastonbury comeback set on June 27 with the song. 'I couldn't sing this song two years ago. I might struggle to finish it today for different reasons,' he said, tearing up. 'My name is Lewis Capaldi and I'm f … in' back, baby.' The next day he popped up at the OpenAir St Gallen festival in Switzerland, another cancelled date on the 2023 tour to thank fans, posting on social media that he 'had to come back and make it up to you all.' Buoyed by the overwhelming welcome and feeling fit enough to tour again, Capaldi announced a UK and Ireland tour and celebrated the No. 1 debut of his new single Survive, released the day he played at Glastonbury. It is the fastest selling single in the UK this year. 'I've been away for a little while and to come back to this outpouring of love and support has been absolutely incredible,' he said in a video to fans after the No. 1 reveal. 'I can't thank everybody enough for all the kind words and stuff since Glastonbury, and now this. It's been the best week of my life.' There will be huge demand for the December shows here. Besides the Past Ticket Holders Presale, a Secret Sound presale opens on July 11 from 11am (local time) which you can sign up to via
