NEW YORK (AP) — Ed Sheeran will perform at the 2015 Global Citizen Festival in New York's Central Park this fall.
The English singer will perform Sept. 26 on the park's Great Lawn, the festival announced Wednesday. Additional headliners will be announced next month.
The free concert, which will air on MSNBC, is in its fourth year. Past performers include Jay Z, Stevie Wonder, Neil Young, Alicia Keys, Foo Fighters and Carrie Underwood.
Fans can earn free tickets to the one-day event by taking actions to end poverty on globalcitizen.org. The concert is timed to the annual United Nations General Assembly.
