Ya boi Ed Sheeran has finally touched down in Dunedin.

The city is pulling out all the stops for the singer - aside from playing host to a giant mural of his face, the airport's sign has also been changed to read as 'DunEDin'.

And if that wasn't enough, a number of restaurants also offer Sheeran-themed meals (what?!).

Some reckon the hype has gone a bit too far... But Ed is living for it.
