Ed Sheeran to Put Fans in Charge of Setlist with Australia and New Zealand 'Loop Tour' Shows.

In a unique twist, the singer-songwriter is inviting his fans to choose the songs that will be performed live during each show of his upcoming Loop Tour in Australia and New Zealand.

Before the opening night in Auckland, Sheeran revealed on Instagram that each show will feature a live fan-driven setlist element, where audiences can text in song requests to be played on the night. The most popular picks will make it into the set, with the selections not limited to current hits or recent releases.

Sheeran plans to prepare any songs voted for ahead of time, and will learn them before each show, saying "so whatever song you wanna hear at the gig, go look at the screen, text it, and it'll basically tally up the songs, and I will play those songs, whatever the song is." Fans are encouraged to surprise him with their choices.

The Loop Tour kicks off in Auckland and Wellington before crossing to Australia later this month, where it will feature back-to-back shows at Perth's Optus Stadium. The tour supports Sheeran's latest album Play, featuring singles "Azizam," "Sapphire," and "Old Phone." Special guests Vance Joy and Mia Wray will join him on all dates, with other artists appearing in specific cities.

Tickets for the Loop Tour are currently on sale via Frontier Touring.
 
idk about this Ed Sheeran thing, sounds like a cool idea but is it just gonna be a bunch of people voting for whatever they want and he's just gotta play it? i mean what if some kid texts in "I Will Survive" or something lol. how does he even make sure the songs are played safely with all those phone votes comin' in? seems like it could get messy. also, why not have a real voting system where people can actually weigh in on more than just one song?
 
I think it's a great move by Ed Sheeran to let his fans be in charge of the setlist! 🤩 They've been waiting years to see him perform live and now they get to decide which songs he plays... it's like they're part of the show too! 😊 It'll be awesome to see what songs the fans choose, might even discover some new faves. I'm curious if Ed will play some old classics or just stick to his latest releases? Either way, it's gonna be an epic tour and I hope he has a blast performing for all those amazing fans! 🎸🔥
 
lol Ed Sheeran thinks fans want to be in charge of his setlist? like what's next, putting them in charge of the merch booth too 🤣. But honestly, I get it, he wants to connect with the people who actually care about his music. It's cute that he's willing to put up with a bunch of screamo parents and nostalgic grannies having a meltdown over songs from 2014 🎵😂. And hey, if it gets him more fans or just makes for some fun Instagram pics, I'm all for it 💁‍♂️📸
 
I'm so down for this ed Sheeran thing 🤩. Like if I wanna hear "Shape of You" but it's been ages since he played it live, I can just text it in and hopefully he'll play it 😂. It's gonna be lit when the fans get to decide what songs get played. I'm sure he'll have some surprises too, right? The fact that special guests Vance Joy and Mia Wray will join him on all dates is also a nice touch 👍. Can't wait for the Aussie shows at Optus Stadium, those are gonna be huge 🎟️!
 
omg I'm literally freaking out!! Ed Sheeran is doing a setlist change every night?! I mean what's not to love? Fans get to be part of the experience and it's such a cool way for him to connect with them even more! I'm already imagining all the awesome songs we'll get to hear. This is like, total fan power 😍🎉, and I am HERE FOR IT!!!
 
This is gonna be epic! 🤩 Fans are finally gonna get to decide what songs Ed Sheeran plays live? Mind blown! I'm low-key freaking out just thinking about it... texting my fave Ed Sheeran songs to him and hoping they make it into the setlist 📱💫. It's a great way for fans to feel more connected to the artist and make the concerts even more special #EdSheeran #LoopTour #FanChoice 🎵💖. I hope he plays some of his acoustic tracks too, that's always a highlight for me! 💕
 
I love this idea! 🤩 Fans should totally have a say in what Ed Sheeran plays live. It's gonna be so cool to see his setlist change from night to night based on what people want to hear. I mean, who doesn't wanna be the one that gets their fave song played? 😂 The fact that he'll even learn new songs ahead of time is genius! I'm defo going to text in some requests for my own shows... might just get some obscure tunes played 🎸
 
Ugh 🤕, sounds like Ed Sheeran is just gonna be a slave to his fans' taste buds now... I mean, it's cool that he wants to engage with them and all, but what about his own artistic vision? He could be stuck playing the same songs over and over again because of some random text vote 😳. And have you seen the stadiums he's gonna be playing in? Perth's Optus Stadium is massive 🏟️, it's like, how's he even supposed to keep up with all those demands? And what about the technical aspect? It's not just about pressing play on a screen, it's about putting on a cohesive show. This could get really messy ⚠️
 
idk about this loop tour thing... sounds like ed's just trying to be more 'engaged' with his fans, but really he's just gonna end up playing whatever they want and not what's good for his career 🤔. i mean, have you seen the setlist of his latest album? it's all so samey! don't get me wrong, i love ed as a person, but let's be real, this is just a gimmick to sell more tickets... and who knows what kind of chaos that's gonna cause on stage 😂.
 
I'm loving this whole fan-participation thing Ed Sheeran is doing! 🤩 It's a huge lesson about democracy and crowdsourcing – we get to decide what we want, and our collective voices matter! It's also super cool that he's willing to learn new songs ahead of time... talk about being open to change 😊. And think about it, if your song gets picked, you're basically on stage with Ed Sheeran, how awesome is that?! 🎤
 
omg i just got back from this crazy hike over the weekend 🏞️ and i saw the most beautiful sunset 🌅 it made me think about how music can take you to another place, like when ed shearan performs live 🎶 he's always so energetic and connected to his audience... and now that fans get to choose the setlist, it's like they're part of the performance too 🤩 i wonder if Vance Joy will bring any new songs to the table or if mia wray will have a special surprise for us 🎵
 
omg this is so cool 🤩 ed shearan is literally letting his fans be in charge of the setlist lol i love it! who doesn't want to hear their fave song live 🎵 its like, totally interactive and stuff... im all for it tbh, i mean whats better than hearing your favorite song live anyway? also, can you imagine seeing Vance joy on tour with ed sheeran? that would be awesome 😎
 
This is actually really cool! I mean, who wouldn't wanna get to decide what Ed Sheeran plays at his shows? 🤩 It's like he's giving us a chance to be part of his live experience. And can you imagine seeing all your fave songs performed live? It'll be like a mini music festival within the tour! 😄 I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun, and we get to see Ed Sheeran in action too. The whole thing just feels super interactive and inclusive.
 
I'm low-key obsessed with Ed Sheeran's new 'Loop Tour' 🤩! So, he's letting his fans pick the setlist? Mind blown! I love how interactive it is - just imagine being able to text in song requests and seeing them up on screen at the show. It's like, Ed Sheeran's live concert has become a real-life game night 🎮! And can you even imagine the surprise factor when he plays a song that no one expected? I'm totally stoked for fans in Oz and NZ to get involved - it's gonna be so lit! 💥
 
🤔 This is a genius move by Ed Sheeran! I mean, who doesn't love having their fave songs played live?! It's like he's giving fans the ultimate power 🙌. And can you imagine being part of that process? Voting for songs, seeing them on the screen, and then hearing them LIVE?! 😍 My only worry is if some fans are gonna play his hits all night long and leave him with nothing new to perform 🤣. But seriously, I think this is gonna be an incredible tour and a great way for Ed to connect with his fans in a new way 💖. The idea of Vance Joy and Mia Wray joining him on stage too is exciting! Can't wait to see how it all comes together 🎸
 
omg i'm literally freaking out about this 🤩!! ed sheeran letting us control his setlist is like a dream come true!!! it's gonna be so lit when we get to decide what songs he plays and surprise him with our fave tracks 🎸🔥 i mean who needs fancy producers or critics when you have the fans in charge?! 😂 plus, ed said he'll learn the new songs ahead of time, so we're basically getting a personalized concert every night 💖 this is like music history in the making and i am SO here for it!!! 🎶💥
 
I'm loving this idea from Ed Sheeran 🎶! Giving his fans control over the setlist is a great way to make each show feel super special and interactive. I mean, can you imagine getting to see your favorite songs performed live because of what you've voted for? It's like having a say in the concert itself! 😊 Plus, it'll be amazing to see how the crowd responds when Ed plays songs that they're really passionate about. Maybe he'll even discover some new fan faves 🤩. The fact that he's prepared all the songs ahead of time so he can learn them quickly is just genius 💡. This whole thing just screams 'fan engagement' and I am HERE FOR IT 😄.
 
oh man 🤩 I'm literally freaking out about this ! Ed Sheeran is giving his fans way too much power over the setlist and I am HERE FOR IT 🎉! it's like, I've been listening to his songs for years and I know what I'd want to hear live but not being able to say anything myself would drive me crazy 😂. so now I get to be part of choosing the songs and it's literally a dream come true! I'm planning on texting every song suggestion to him before each show 📱🎶. this is like, the ultimate fan experience and I'm so hyped for the tour 🤩.
 
I'm thinking this is gonna be super cool! I mean Ed Sheeran already has such a massive fanbase and they're always so dedicated. I can imagine the energy at these shows when fans get to choose their own songs 🤩. It's like, what if he plays 'Perfect' every night but with a special acoustic version? Fans will be totally stoked! Or maybe he'll throw in some old faves from his earlier days... The possibilities are endless! I'm also curious to see how Vance Joy and Mia Wray fit into the performances. Overall, it's a win-win for fans - they get to influence the setlist and artists like Ed Sheeran perform with awesome supporting acts 🎸
