Superstar UK artist Ed Sheeran will perform in a special Nova’s Red Room live stream from London, on Friday 29 October, coinciding with the release of his latest studio album ‘=’ which drops the same day.
At a time when Aussies are looking for good news, Ed Sheeran perform his biggest hits and brand new songs from his new album (some of which he will perform for the first time) in an exclusive Nova’s Red Room with Ed Sheeran.
In his fourth performance for Nova’s Red Room, Ed Sheeran and the Nova Network will continue their 10-year relationship – from being the first commercial radio network to back ‘The A Team’ to his current hit ‘Shivers’.

After headlining Nova’s Red Room Global Tour in 2017 at Whelan’s in Dublin, a venue where he started his music career, Sheeran fulfilled a dream to perform at the Sydney Opera House in 2019 for a very special Nova’s Red Room.
Paul Jackson, NOVA Entertainment’s Chief Programming & Marketing Officer said, “Ed Sheeran is an incredible artist. From performing at Nova’s reception, to the Bucket List in Bondi and Nova’s Red Room Global Tour, we knew he was something special from the very start and have been so proud to support his career. We can’t wait to share this experience with his Australian fans.”
Hosted by Kent ‘Smallzy’ Small, Nova’s Red Room with Ed Sheeran will also feature support from up-and-coming UK artist Maisie Peters, whose debut album ‘You Signed Up For This’ has been released under Sheeran’s Gingerbread Man Records.
