Ed Sheeran is heading back to Australia and New Zealand for his first tour down under since 2018.
The singer has added our fair country to the list of destinations he’ll be hitting up as part of his massive run of stadium shows for his + – = ÷ x Tour (‘The Mathematics Tour’).
The last time the ‘Shape of You’ singer was here he broke the record for the highest-selling tour in history, with 1,006,387 tickets sold across Australia and New Zealand alone. After two years of being deprived of going to big concerts, it’s probably a fair bet that he will smash his own record this time around.
Kicking off in February 2023, Sheeran’s 2023 tour will see him performing at some iconic stadiums in Wellington, Auckland, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth. Fans will be treated to an array of tracks off his latest album ‘=’ plus hits from across his career.
Cutting-edge production – the likes of which have never been seen before in Australia or New Zealand – will see Sheeran perform in the round surrounded by fans, to some of the largest venue attendances ever.
Sheeran was last in Australia in 2021, under extremely sad circumstances — for the memorial concert for his good friend, Michael Gudinski, who was the founder of Frontier Touring and Mushroom Group. The singer was granted a travel exemption to attend the service and performed a song he had written for his late friend, ‘Visiting Hours’, which is now yet another of Sheeran’s best selling singles.
Sheeran’s latest album ‘=’ debuted at #1 in both Australia and New Zealand with singles ‘Bad Habits’ (5 x Platinum AU, 3 x Platinum NZ) and ‘Shivers’ (3 x Platinum AU, Platinum NZ) certifiable smash hits.
Pre-sale tickets for the tour will go on sale on Monday 21 March via frontiertouring.com/edsheeran, with the general public on sale on Wednesday 23 March. See below for dates, venue and ticketing info.
