Ed Sheeran launched his Loop Tour of Australia and New Zealand at Auckland’s Go Media Stadium on Friday (16 January), where he continued his love affair with fans in the antipodean region.

His first show of the tour was packed with a whopping 30 songs, with just one medley performed. The first setlist, which we think will at least change in the newly announced Fan Suggestions segment at future shows, was a showcase of Sheeran’s hit-laden discography.

With six songs performed from his Divide and Multiply albums and new album Play, as well as scattered songs from his albums Plus, Minus, the No.6 Collaborations Project, and a medley of songs Sheeran wrote for other artists, the Loop Tour is all about Sheeran and his fans.

Last night, Sheeran performed five songs in his first Fan Suggestions segment of the tour, which included fans texting a number displayed on the screens to make setlist recommendations, and the songs were tallied up. Last night’s songs were: Little Bird, Sofa, Tenerife Sea, Supermarket Flowers, and Give Me Love. Little Bird was performed for the first time since 2021, and Sofa for the first time since 2013.

You can check out the setlist, which features an entire segment performed with Beoga, the Irish band behind Sheeran’s hit single Galway Girl, below.

Following his shows in New Zealand, Ed Sheeran will head to Australia later this month. His Australian tour begins at Perth’s Optus Stadium (31 January and 1 February). It continues at Sydney’s Accor Stadium (13 February, 14 February, 15 February), Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium (20 February, 21 February, 22 February), Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium (26 February, 27 February, 28 February), and concludes at Adelaide Oval on Thursday, 5 March.

For his Loop Tour, Sheeran is joined by special guests Vance Joy and Mia Wray (all shows), BIIRD (New Zealand and Perth), and Aaron Rowe (Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide). Tickets are available now via the Frontier Touring website.
