Announcing the mini-run on Instagram, Sheeran noted, “These gigs will be more intimate than a stadium, of course, but they’ll still be extraordinary. I adore performing in these settings.”

These December performances serve as a warm-up for his 2026 Australia and New Zealand “Loop” stadium tour, kicking off January 16 in Auckland. Though specifics remain under wraps, he teased in July: “New stage, new tricks, new setup, new songs and all the classics added in.”

In advance of Play, Sheeran crisscrossed Europe on his Mathematics tour, highlighted by three triumphant homecoming shows at Portman Road, the fortress of his beloved Ipswich Town F.C.

April introduced the album’s buoyant lead single “Azizam,” which climbed to No. 3 on the Official U.K. Singles Chart. Sheeran described Play as “an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish,” crafted to “deliver pure joy and vivid colour.”

According to the Official Charts Company, he boasts 43 Top 10 singles—including “Sapphire,” which peaked at No. 5—with a combined 323 weeks in the U.K. Top 10 since his 2011 debut, “The A Team.”
