The celebration continues in Tampa Bay!

We knew the beginning of the season was going to be a big one with the Super Bowl Champs, Tampa Bay Buccaneers taking on the Dallas Cowboys. Now we just got the icing on the case because Ed Sheeran is set to headline the Kick Off Concert to the NFL season.

The pre-game concert will take place in Tampa along the riverwalk on September 9th at Julian B Lane Riverfront Park.

The full performance will be on NFL.com and portions of his performance will air on the NBC and NFL network.
