UK singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran’s concert film debut, Jumpers for Goalposts, will be screened at Ster-Kinekor Cavendish and Tygervalley from Thursday. This special cinema event, including red carpet highlights, an exclusive live performance from Sheeran and the film shown in its entirety for the first time, will be beamed via satellite live from London’s Leicester Square to thousands of cinema screens around the world.
Jumpers for Goalposts brings together Sheeran’s captivating performances from the biggest shows of his career at Wembley Stadium in July this year, where he wows the 80 000 strong crowd with his biggest hits to date, including The A Team, Sing and Thinking Out Loud– and there’s even a surprise duet from Sir Elton John.
As well as his onstage performance, Jumpers for Goalposts is intercut with the story of the performer’s triumphant road to Wembley, presenting a revealing and personal glimpse into life backstage and on the road, along with an honest and intimate reflection by Sheeran – and those closest to him – on just how far he has come.
The film is directed by Paul Dugdale, with executive producer Stuart Camp and producers Stefan Demetriou, Jim Parsons and Julie Jakobek.
