ED Sheeran has announced an Australian arena tour on his lonesome and on a budget.
Sheeran will charge only $99 for tickets for all concerts on his April/May tour next year, with none of the usual VIP packages or premium seating charges.
It will also be the first time since the late John Denver in 1994 that a sole musician has done an arena-level tour of Australia without a band.
Sheeran uses his acoustic guitar and a hi-tech pedal to create a symphony of sounds triggered by looping his vocals or drum beats on a guitar.

Sheeran is no stranger to big crowds — he'll play to 100,000 people at the AFL Grand Final this weekend with Tom Jones, including a free show at the MCG afterwards. He also supported his mate Taylor Swift on her US stadium tour last year.
Promoter Michael Gudinski applauded Sheeran setting his ticket prices at a low level.
"He remembers lining up as a kid to get good tickets and believes that any fan should have the chance to get the best seats, not just the ones with the most money. I wish more artists would take this initiative."

Sheeran's second album X (or Multiply) has already spawned the No. 1 Sing and Top 5 Don't, while his debut + (or plus) sold over 300,000 copies in Australia and was home to the hits The A Team, You Need Me I Don't Need You, Lego House, Drunk, Small Bump and Give Me Love.
Sheeran showcased his new loop pedal when promoting X in Australia earlier this year.
"It's a fancier loop pedal," Sheeran said. "It can do more things so it'll sound better. The arena show will be great."
