Will Ed Sheeran come out at Leeds Festival 2022? Star joins Bring Me The Horizon at Reading

Hopes of an Ed Sheeran appearance at Leeds Festival have been sparked after he joined Bring Me The Horizon at Reading Festival.

The global star returned the favour after BMTH performed alongside him at the BRIT Awards earlier this year.

Sheeran’s hit ‘Bad Habits’ has been remixed by the Sheffield rockers and the collaborators treated the Reading crowd to a performance of it side-by-side last night.

BMTH are due to co-headline the final day of Leeds Festival, sharing the top of the bill with their South Yorkshire counterparts Arctic Monkeys.
