Blige, Luke Combs, and Wizkid. Explore the full lineup of past performances in the Apple Music Live archive.
Here’s what Ed Sheeran said about his upcoming performance:
“I’m delighted to share my Subtract album show with you,” Sheeran said. “I was really nervous on the day, as it was my first time performing the new album tracks. The show was brought to life by Aaron and the incredible band, and it was an honor to stand beside them. It was an emotional night, but I’m so pleased we got to document it.”
Behind-the-scenes footage, the Apple Music Live setlist, and more exclusive content can also be found on the Shazam app after the show.
