If you visit the Live Dates on his website, you may notice that Ed Sheeran has confirmed that he will be in attendance at this year’s Reading and Leeds Festivals. While we don’t have a confirmation of which stage it will be just yet, we reckon that you can bet on the Festival Republic Stage being the top choice.

Does this mean that we could be expecting another announcement very soon? Maybe even today if we’re lucky? Stay tuned and we’ll try to capture any coverage as and when we hear it.

Strictly Our Opinion: We’ve ranted, we’ve raved and given praise to the man who delivers a fresh new take on the acoustic singer/songwriter. The hype is truly with him at the moment, yet we here at Strictly RandL think that it’s well deserved, and we implore you to see why he is making a name for himself when you visit the Festival Republic stage on either Friday 26th August at Leeds, or Sunday 28th August at Reading.
