Ed Sheeran has wowed Dunedin crowds for a second time - and one couple had an extra-special night involving a mid-concert marriage proposal.

Scout Barbour-Evans tweeted that a couple in front of them got engaged as the song A-Team played.

Nearly 40,000 people packed the stadium for Thursday night's gig and a similar number was expected last night.

Dunedin band Six60 opened the proceedings.

The city continues to buzz with activity.

The first wave of travelling fans, which hit town for Thursday night's sell-out show, is expected to total almost 70,000.

Sheeran performs his final Australasian show in Dunedin tonight before leaving New Zealand to continue his world tour.
