Overview
- Sheeran visited the Queensland city on Friday before his Brisbane shows, signing a locally painted mural and writing "Lots of love, Ed."
- He posted a short video from the mural with the caption "There's a new mayor in town," tagging Mayor Teresa Harding.
- The stopover followed a sustained grassroots push that began with a May 2025 4BC interview and grew into a citywide effort.
- Local businesses and groups backed the campaign with themed products, events, a cardboard cut-out, joint support from 4BC and B105, and even a shelter dog named after the singer.
- Sheeran did not perform during the visit and continued with his Brisbane Suncorp Stadium dates as part of the Loop Tour, with Melbourne and Adelaide to follow.
