Popular British singer Ed Sheeran has added several new dates to his Australian and New Zealand tour, matching a record set by AC/DC in the process.
The immensely popular crooner added two shows in Sydney, three shows in Melbourne and two in Brisbane to cater for the high demand.
The addition of the extra dates takes Ed’s number of stadium shows up to 14, which is the same amount AC/DC performed in 2010.
The door is still being left open as to whether The Shape of You singer will tack on even more shows to his tour, with his final schedule still yet to be confirmed.
‘I’m overwhelmed with the response, to match that record is very humbling,’ Ed said.
‘I really can’t wait to get down there.’
The news comes just days after he caused a frenzy online as frantic fans rushed to buy pre-sale tickets to his March 2018 tour.
Tickets from the Ticketek sold out within hours, but quickly reappeared on re-seller sites.
Scalpers tried to offload tickets to the ginger-haired Brit’s show for up to $1000 a pop.
This caused fury among fans who unable to get their hands on any from the original website.
The most expensive tickets for sale on Ticketek’s website only reached a price of around $160.
General sale tickets for the Divide tour are set to be released on Tuesday May 23.
