Apple Music Live Returns for New Season With Special Performance by Ed Sheeran

Apple has announced the return of Apple Music Live for a new season of concerts including a special performance by Ed Sheeran.

Season Two will kick off with an exclusive performance by award-winning global superstar Ed Sheeran at the Eventim Apollo in London. In the intimate live performance, Sheeran will showcase his brand-new album, - (pronounced "subtract"), in full for the first time alongside a 12-piece band that includes Aaron Dessner of The National.




Sheeran's Apple Music Live performance will debut on Wednesday, May 10, at noon PST on Apple Music at apple.co/AMLEdSheeran. Plus, for the first time, the performance — and all future Apple Music Live performances — will also be available to stream on Apple TV+. Fans can stream Sheeran's performance on demand on both Apple Music and Apple TV+ beginning at 1 p.m. PST on May 10.

"I'm delighted to share my Subtract album show with you," Sheeran said. "I was really nervous on the day, as it was my first time performing the new album tracks. The show was brought to life by Aaron and the incredible band, and it was an honor to stand beside them. It was an emotional night, but I'm so pleased we got to document it."

"We're excited to present this Apple Music Live show, which offers an utterly unique perspective into how one of the world's most popular musicians is dealing with some of the heaviest traumas imaginable. It's an emotional, soul-searching ride — but also extremely fulfilling," said Apple Music 1 host Matt Wilkinson, who sat down with Sheeran for a new interview set to air on Tuesday, May 9.




Behind-the-scenes footage, the Apple Music Live setlist, and more exclusive content can also be found on the Shazam app after the show.
