Ed Sheeran has revealed the planned setlist for his highly anticipated Loop Tour, releasing the list of songs he intends to perform as the global stadium trek prepares to launch. The setlist spans the breadth of his career and includes selections from his latest studio album Play alongside many of his biggest hits that have defined his place in pop music over the past decade.
The disclosed lineup of songs includes an expansive mix of fan favorites and newer material, showcasing Sheeran’s evolution as a songwriter and performer. Among the scheduled numbers are tracks such as “You Need Me, I Don’t Need You,” “Castle on the Hill,” “Shivers,” “Thinking Out Loud,” “Photograph,” “Perfect,” “Shape of You,” and “Bad Habits,” along with selections from Play including “Sapphire,” “Old Phone,” “Celestial,” and “Azizam.” This collection demonstrates a balance between the energetic anthems and emotional ballads that have become staples of his live shows.
The Loop Tour itself is designed to support Play, Sheeran’s eighth studio effort, and represents a new era of live performance following his record-breaking Mathematics Tour. The extensive trek began in late 2025 in Europe and is set to continue through 2026 across Oceania, North America, and beyond, with a stage production that blends intimate moments and large-scale spectacle.
Shows are scheduled in major cities worldwide, including upcoming performances in Auckland and Wellington this week as part of the tour’s Oceania leg. Ed Sheeran will be backed by a roster of support acts and promises dynamic live arrangements built around his signature loop pedal technique.
Fans tracking the setlist have also shared unofficial playlists and discussions online, with some variations and predictions emerging as excitement builds in the days ahead of the official tour kickoff.
