Ed Sheeran is coming back to West Yorkshire to play two huge shows in Leeds next summer.

He's sold millions of records, sold out arenas around the world and he's even been honoured by the Queen.

Now we know he'll play a gig in Roundhay Park on the 16th and 17th of August 2019 as part of four outdoor shows.

He'll follow in the footsteps of Robbie Williams and Michael Jackson, who have both played to huge crowds in the park.

The shows here and in Suffolk where he grew up will round off his massive world tour next year.

Ed spoke to us recently and told us he's always setting himself new targets

"We started off playing small venues and then we moved the goalposts to play Shepherds Bush, Brixton and then the 02....so it was just about having goals that you weren't confined to dream so your dreams can be endless."

And how does it feel performing in front of huge crowds...

"You think a lot before you go on like what goes through your mind but when you get on stage its more like I'm just going to enjoy this - you don't think too much."
