Following last week's drop out by Canadian pop sensation Justin Bieber, award-winning, chart-topping national treasure Ed Sheeran has jumped in to the vacant headline slot on Friday August 28th. Watch his set at The Roundhouse below.

Fusion Festival director Damien Sanders had this to say: "This is incredible news, when Ed heard that Justin Bieber had pulled out he contacted us and offered to step in at the last minute, this is an amazing gesture from an all-round great guy and Ed really has saved the day, we are all eternally grateful. We look forward to a spectacular show and are delighted to have secured one of the biggest acts in the world."

The VMA, Ivor Novello and Brit Award winning star is thrilled to be hitting Fusion: "I’m delighted to be playing Fusion Festival after stepping in at the last minute to help out the guys at Fusion and support The Princes Trust. Birmingham crowds are always lively, so I can’t wait to come back. See you in a few weeks!"
