Fuse, the national music television network of The Madison Square Garden Company, announced that it will air a 30-minute performance from Ed Sheeran, taking place live and commercial-free on Thursday, May 23 at 8:30 p.m. ET from Delta's T4X pop-up experience. Hosted by Delta and introduced by Fuse's Yasmine Richard, this special concert celebrates the airline's new state-of-the-art Terminal 4 at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), which officially opens the next day, Friday, May 24.

Delta's T4X, a multidimensional, pop-up experience located in New York City, will be open to the public through May 22, offering visitor's food, giveaways, and the chance to get a sneak peek at the soon-to-be-unveiled redesigned Terminal 4 at JFK.

The Ed Sheeran concert will be a closed event, but Fuse is turning off the seatbelt sign and letting viewers sit back, relax, and enjoy the entertainment from their very own homes. "This is going to be a cool show to play. I've been traveling and touring for the last two years consecutively and have taken loads of flights so it's going to be quite fun to play a gig celebrating the new Delta terminal, rather than waiting at one. I'm looking forward to it," said Sheeran.

After the initial premiere, the concert will encore twice throughout the evening, at 1:30 a.m. and 3:30 a.m. Fans can also tune-in to Delta's Facebook page to watch the streaming performance.

Sheeran's second single, "Lego House" is currently heating up Top 40 radio, cracking the Top 25. The British phenom's debut album, "+" entered the SoundScan/Billboard 200 at #5 upon its release in June 2012, scoring the highest debut for a British solo artist's first full-length album since 2009, and has since gone on to become Gold-certified by the RIAA. Ed also spent 2012 on the charts for his incredible songwriting; having written songs for One Direction, including their hit "Little Things" as well as co-writing his duet with Taylor Swift, "Everything Has Changed," from her album RED, which instantly skyrocketed up the iTunes chart upon its release.
