"I’m profoundly grateful for the opportunity to share a stage with Ed and play to so many people but it’s already giving me butterflies," Higgins said.

"I don’t know whether I’m excited or terrified - probably a bit of both!"

Sheeran has long been a fan of Higgins' music, stating at a gig at the iconic Sydney Opera House last year that his dream of playing there was sparked after watching a TV concert of Higgins performing at the venue. 

Meanwhile to coincide with the supporting slot announce, Higgins has also confirmed her new album and her first LP of original songs in six years, Solastalgia, is due out in early May. 

Check out the first single from the record, Futon Couch, below.
