Global superstar **[Ed Sheeran](https://prezlymail.com/c/ad634428-d2fc-4c60-803b-6273c067b93e/0492e145/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.edsheeran.com%2F)** kicks off his all-new ***Loop Tour*** in New Zealand this week, launching his massive latest tour run with an opening night on **Friday 16 January** at **Auckland**’s** GO Media Stadium**. Spanning 17 stadium shows across Aotearoa and Australia, the *Loop Tour*marks Ed Sheeran’s long-awaited return to our shores and the beginning of a bold new chapter in his exceptional live career. Following years of record-breaking tours and historic global performances, fans can expect a spectacular, career-spanning show – new music from his chart-topping 2025 album *[Play](https://prezlymail.com/c/ad634428-d2fc-4c60-803b-6273c067b93e/971845cf/https%3A%2F%2Fwma.lnk.to%2FPlayAlbum)* (recent singles ‘Azizam’, ‘Sapphire’ and ‘Camera’); hits from his unparalleled catalogue (Shape Of You’, ‘Thinking Out Loud’, ‘Castle On The Hill’, ‘Perfect’, ‘Bad Habits’, ‘Shivers’ and many more); and the loop-pedal mastery that has made Ed Sheeran one of the most compelling live performers of his generation. The *Loop Tour* follows the conclusion of Ed’s extraordinary *Mathematics Tour*, which sold over 8 million tickets across more than 140 headline shows in 42 countries. Now, with a completely new production and creative vision, Ed Sheeran is once again redefining what a global stadium tour can look like, and New Zealand and Australian audiences will be the first in the world to experience the new* Loop Tour*. In 2025, the singer continued to push boundaries by taking his live show to places stadium-level artists rarely – if ever – visit. He performed a historic first-of-its-kind show in Bhutan, followed by an interior India tour, six landmark shows in China, and multiple dates across the Middle East, expanding his global footprint and reaffirming his commitment to connecting with fans everywhere. That same adventurous spirit now arrives in NZ and Australia with the *Loop Tour*. Known for commanding stadiums solo, Sheeran’s live shows are celebrated for their intimacy, scale and emotional connection – no matter the size of the crowd. Joining him on the road is: **[Vance Joy](https://prezlymail.com/c/ad634428-d2fc-4c60-803b-6273c067b93e/42775e06/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fvancejoy%2F%3Fhl%3Den)** (all shows AU/NZ); Melbourne star **[Mia Wray](https://prezlymail.com/c/ad634428-d2fc-4c60-803b-6273c067b93e/9af39e30/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fmiawray%2F%3Fhl%3Den)**** **(all shows AU/NZ); all-female Irish collective **[BIIRD](https://prezlymail.com/c/ad634428-d2fc-4c60-803b-6273c067b93e/8d8758c2/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fbiirdofficial%2F%3Fhl%3Den)**** **(NZ + Perth); and Irish singer-songwriter **[Aaron Rowe](https://prezlymail.com/c/ad634428-d2fc-4c60-803b-6273c067b93e/6409167b/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Faaronrowe__%2F%3Fhl%3Den)**** **(Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne + Adelaide). ![Person with curly dark hair in white t-shirt posing thoughtfully beside potted plants and blue shelving.](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/originals/36413/Vance-Joy-Divine-Feelings-ALT-Credit-Selen-Us.webp) *Vance Joy* ![Person with long reddish-orange hair gazes toward camera against a hazy landscape backdrop.](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/originals/36414/Mia-Wray.webp) *Mia Wray* ![Man in blue Adidas track jacket against weathered brick wall.](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/originals/36415/Aaron-Rowe.webp) *Aaron Rowe* ![A group of ten performers in coordinated pale and neutral-toned outfits stand together against a white backdrop.](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/originals/36416/BIIRD004larger.webp) *BIIRD* Since his debut over a decade ago, Ed Sheeran has become one of the most successful artists of all time, amassing tens of billions of streams, multiple GRAMMY Awards, countless #1 singles and albums, and a reputation as one of the most innovative and hardworking performers in modern music.
