Ed Sheeran has often professed his love for UK “Football”, but he is now set to show a little love to the American version of the sport on season two of Amazon’s concert series following Thursday Night Football.
Sheeran is joined by Lil Durk and Feid for the concert series. The shows will kick off on Sept. 21 at 9 p.m. PT and continue throughout the season.
“We created Amazon Music Live to bring sports and music fans together on Thursday nights for a brand-new, can’t-miss event celebrating new music after the biggest game of the week,” said Ryan Redington, GM of Amazon Music (per Billboard).
“Join me each week when I’m turning Thursday night into music’s main stage with Amazon Music Live,” host 2 Chainz added. “We’re returning with even more new music, more album drops, and more wild performances than ever before.”The series will be available on both Prime Video and Amazon Music’s Twitch. More artists will be announced in the coming weeks.
The first season of Amazon’s concert series featured the likes of Lil Baby, Megan Thee Stallion, Kane Brown, Lil Wayne, and more.
