Sheeran and Peters previously performed together at Peters’ 2023 headlining show at London’s OVO Arena Wembley. Sheeran made a surprise appearance to play his song “Lego House” with Peters, who is signed to his label Gingerbread Man Records.

Sheeran’s most recent studio album, Play, arrived in September. The LP was recorded in all the different locations the singer-songwriter visited and completed in Goa, India. “Play was an album that was made as a direct response to the darkest period of my life,” Sheeran shared in a statement. “Coming out of all of that I just wanted to create joy and technicolour, and explore cultures in the countries I was touring.”

In November, the singer debuted a Netflix special, One Shot With Ed Sheeran, shot with Adolescence director Philip Barantini. The short film shows the singer walking through New York City in real time, playing his songs on subway cars and various spots around the city, and leaving a trail of stunned fans in his wake.
