The Loop Tour continues Sheeran’s strong connection with Australian audiences, having sold more than 3.1 million tickets across the region throughout his career. The tour follows his record-breaking Mathematics Tour in 2023, where he played to over 200,000 fans in Melbourne.

Brisbane music lovers will be especially excited to hear that Sheeran is booking two nights at Suncorp Stadium in Milton. The suburb is familiar territory for the star, who has a history of hugely successful, sold-out performances at the venue during his 2018 ‘Divide Tour’ and more recently on his record-breaking ‘Mathematics Tour’ in 2023. Beyond Brisbane, the tour will also stop in Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, and Melbourne, as well as three cities in New Zealand. Christchurch will welcome Sheeran for the first time in 11 years.

The announcement continues a long and successful relationship between Sheeran and his Australian fans. His journey in the country has seen him grow from playing smaller theatres on his first major headlining tour in 2012 to becoming an artist who consistently sells out the nation’s largest stadiums. 

The musician, who got his start performing tirelessly in small London pubs with just a guitar and a loop pedal, has become one of the world’s most recognisable artists through iconic albums like + (Plus), × (Multiply), and ÷ (Divide). He is also a highly respected songwriter, having written hit songs for artists like Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber.
