Ed Sheeran will headline on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage on Sunday night, six years since he first appeared on the festival’s tiny Croissant Neuf stage in 2011.

In 2014 he played the Pyramid Stage for the first time, enjoying a huge audience thanks to his set following directly on from Dolly Parton, who received a record-breaking turnout.

It will be his fourth appearance at the festival overall.

While Ed Sheeran’s status as a headliner has proved controversial, it is hard to not be impressed by what he can achieve on stage solo - he famously has no band, backing singers or dancers.

Expect to see the majority of his hits played, including The A-Team and Shape of You, as part of his 90 minute set - the shortest of all the headliners this year.

So when is Ed Sheeran on? Here’s how you catch him either on TV or in the flesh, if you’re lucky enough to have a ticket.

START TIME

His set is scheduled to start at 9:45pm on the Pyramid Stage and finish at 11.15pm. He will start his set an hour after Biffy Clyro has wrapped up.

TV LISTING

You can watch Ed Sheeran close Glastonbury this Sunday live on BBC Two from 9pm. You can also watch Glastonbury live via the BBC’s Red Button service from 6pm to midnight on Sunday.
