BILLBOARDPREMIERES BEHIND-THE-SCENES FOOTAGE FROM HEADLINING RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL CONCERT
With the start of The Shawn Mendes World Tour just one week away, Billboard has exclusively premiered behind-the-scenes footage and photos from Shawn’s sold-out concert at New York’s iconic Radio City Music Hall. The headlining tour will hit 39 cities in 12 different countries, kicking off on April 16th in Cologne, Germany and running through August 21st in Toronto, Ontario (see below for full list of dates).
I’m so excited for the start of the World Tour this month,” reveals Shawn. “Walking on stage at Radio City was such an unreal dream come true I can’t believe. And we have a ton of surprises and new music in store for the rest of the tour. I’m still in shock with how fast the tour sold out, just can’t even begin to thank my fans and everyone coming to the shows!”
Singer/songwriter Shawn Mendes is touring behind the success of his platinum debut album Handwritten. He is recording his highly anticipated follow-up album with Grammy-nominated producer Jake Gosling (Ed Sheeran’s “+” & “x” albums), and he will treat fans to a sneak peek of his new music throughout the tour.
Shawn has achieved a run of consecutive hit singles with “Life of The Party” (RIAA platinum), “Something Big” (RIAA platinum), “Stitches” (RIAA 4x-platinum), and most recently “I Know What You Did Last Summer” (RIAA platinum). “Stitches” topped singles charts at #1 in the U.S., UK and Germany and reached Top 10 on iTunes singles charts in over 70 countries worldwide.
