Ed Sheeran performs in concert on the opening night of his Australian tour at Optus Stadium on March 2, 2018 in Perth, Australia. The piece of art is to cost $8350, to be paid by Enterprise Dunedin , part of the Dunedin City Council. Enterprise Dunedin director John Christie believed the initiative - helped by the Dunedin Street Art Trust- will further reinforce Dunedin's reputation as a creative and innovative city, when it comes to major events. The Bath St art work would also encourage concert goers to promote Dunedin to friends and family via shared imagery online. Ed Sheeran will perform in the city at three concerts, on March 29, March 31, and April 1.
