Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Despite what the weather reports are saying, chances are Glastonbury Festival will once again be a wash-out. It happens. Every. Damn. Time.
When the rain inevitably comes, those who missed out on tickets can smuggle watch the headliners play from the comfort of their living room, knowing a nice, comfy bed awaits.
On Sunday night, Ed Sheeran will headline the Pyramid stage, playing ballads from his three albums.
What time is Ed Sheeran on?
The 26-year-old will be playing Sunday (26 June) on the Pyramid stage from 9.45pm, concluding at 11.15pm, the shortest set of all the headliners.
How to watch
All Glastonbury coverage will be broadcast on the BBC, with BBC Four becoming — in essence — a dedicated Glastonbury channel. Through the red button, you can watch various stages, the main acts also being broadcast on BBC Two. On the Sunday Sheeran is playing, BBC Two coverage starts at 6pm, finishing at midnight. BBC iPlayer will also be packed with Glasto coverage.
For those interested, you can also catch up with our review that will be posted post-gig.
What to expect
Some may not believe Sheeran to be a worthy headliner, the singer's back catalogue being a somewhat ballad-filled affair. However, Adele proved everyone wrong, perhaps he can too. Expect every single ever released by Sheeran to be played, along with perhaps a special appearance or two (we're looking at you, Stormzy).
