Ed Sheeran, who has appeared on “Undateable Live” and multiple episodes of “The Voice,” is no stranger to NBC’s primetime lineup.
On August 16, he will receive his biggest such exposure yet. The singer-songwriter’s “Live at Wembley Stadium” will air as a one-hour primetime special.
The special, which “gives television audiences a front row seat to his sold out summer headlining shows at London’s Wembley Stadium,” will air from 8-9PM ET on August 16.
According to NBC, the broadcast will include performance of “The a Team,” “Thinking Out Loud” and his duet with Elton John. It will also feature “unseen documentary footage.”
“I can’t say that performing at Wembley Stadium was a ‘dream come true,’ because I honestly thought it was out of reach and didn’t think it was possible,” said Sheeran of his recent Wembley run. “But with each tour, the venues continued to grow and it became something of a challenge to see how far we could take it, how big we could go and still deliver a show that connected with the entire audience. It really doesn’t get any bigger than Wembley in my mind and it was an honour to join the select few that have headlined there. It’s definitely a personal milestone and I’m so glad to share this special moment with all of my fans.”
