Get all the latest updates on Ed Sheeran’s show at the Sky Stadium.

Wellington is gearing up for a spectacular evening as global pop sensation Ed Sheeran takes to the stage for the second of his three New Zealand concerts as part of his Australasian tour. A crowd of approximately 35,000 fans is expected to descend upon Sky Stadium, with support from acclaimed artists Vance Joy, Mia Wray, and BIIRD, who will kick off the festivities at 5:15 pm.

Concert-goers are advised to plan their arrival carefully, as car parking is sold out. Pre-purchased parking and mobility-access spaces remain the only options, with no event-day parking available. Those attending are encouraged to use public transport, cycle, scoot, or walk to the stadium to avoid delays caused by extensive road closures in the city.
