Fans were too busy belting every lyric of Maisie Peters’ heartfelt anthems to notice the delightful twist awaiting them on the Before The Bloom Theatre Tour. Between the confessional pangs of 'Body Better' and the furious thrill of 'Blonde,' the audience was entranced, and their rapt attention remained unshakable until a surprise guest turned the theatre into pure pandemonium.

Maisie Peters surprised fans on March 4, 2026, at The Forum in Melbourne, Australia, when Ed Sheeran joined her on stage for an impromptu duet of his hit 'Castle on the Hill.' The intimate venue of approximately 2,000 fans erupted as the two singers blended their voices, creating an unforgettable opening night moment for the Before The Bloom tour.

Yet one would not be too surprised to see Sheeran as a surprise guest for Peters' tour. Maisie Peters, signed to Ed Sheeran's Gingerbread Man Records, has often leaned on his mentorship for songwriting and album guidance, including her 2023 UK No. 1 record, 'The Good Witch,' showcasing a relationship built on trust and artistic respect.

The surprise duet highlights another collaboration between the two artists, who share a history of onstage moments. In 2023, Ed Sheeran joined Maisie Peters at her headlining show at the OVO Arena Wembley in London for a rendition of his hit 'Lego House.' The duo kept the magic alive on Sheeran’s +–=÷x (Mathematics) Tour in 2022 and 2023, with Peters stealing hearts as the primary support act.

Performing alongside Ed Sheeran is just another reminder that Maisie Peters knows how to turn any stage into a thrill, and her Before The Bloom tour is no exception.
