Ed Sheeran will perform in a concert to kick off the NFL season opener in Florida next month.
The NFL announced Friday that Sheeran will headline a pregame concert Sept. 9 at Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park in Tampa. The British pop star’s performance will take place before the reigning Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers face off against the Dallas Cowboys.
A portion of the performance will appear on pre-game programs on NBC and the NFL Network. His full performance will be streamed on NFL.com along with the league’s Facebook page and app.
The four-time Grammy winner took a break from work and social media in late 2019 after two years of touring in support of his best-selling album Divide. He recently released his single “Bad Habits.”
