Ed Sheeran has announced that he will play a show at London's Theatre Royal Haymarket in July in aid of the venue's Masterclass theatre education charity. It will also be the first in a new series of music events at the venue under the banner 'Live At The Haymarket'.
The show will see Sheeran take a break from his global stadium tour to play for an audience of 850. Announcing the performance, he says: "Masterclass is an important charity and it's one that I'm proud to be supporting. It's going to be a special night playing at this iconic venue".
Last year, the Theatre Royal Haymarket was acquired by Access Entertainment, a division of Warner Music owner Access Industries. Ed Sheeran is signed to Atlantic Records, which... well, you get where I'm going with this.
Access Industries boss Len Blavatnik says: "It's wonderful to have the unrivalled talent of Warner Music's Ed Sheeran to launch our 'Live At The Haymarket' series. His support of Masterclass and his belief in the future of this country's young talent is truly appreciated".
Tickets for the show will be dished out via a ballot and you have until 16 Jun to put your name down on the list. Click here for more info.
