Yesterday (5/9), The Academy of Country Music announced that Ed Sheeran will take the stage for a performance during the 58th Academy of Country Music Awards.

Hosted by country music icons Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks, the two-hour show will be free to stream live for a global audience across 240+ countries and territories exclusively on Prime Video and the Amazon Music channel on Twitch on Thursday, May 11 at 7 pm ET from the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas. The full rebroadcast will be available to watch after the show on Prime Video and will be available to stream the next day on Friday, May 12.

Sheeran, who just released the critically-acclaimed studio album “-” (Subtract), is in the midst of his “+ – = ÷ x” (Mathematics) World Tour. The performance will be his debut on the ACM Awards stage, adding what the ACM is calling “an electrifying moment” to an already-packed evening of performances.
