Shawn Mendes is gearing up for a major career milestone with a global tour celebrating the 10th anniversary of his debut album, Handwritten. The On the Road Again Tour will kick off on August 2 at the Sunny Hill Festival in Pristina, Kosovo, and will visit key cities including London, Amsterdam, Madrid, Munich, Boston, Toronto, New York, Chicago, Vancouver, and San Francisco. The tour will conclude on October 17 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.
Reflecting on the importance of returning to the stage, Mendes expressed, “I feel like time away has allowed me to come back and recognise and remember how unbelievably special it is to get to play live shows. It’s an honor, and I’m just beyond grateful that you guys keep showing up after 10 years with so much love.”
Mendes will feature different opening acts around the world. In Europe, he will be joined by Portuguese singer-songwriter MARO and Belgian-Cameroonian artist Lubiana. Mendes shared his excitement about MARO, stating, “I came across MARO’s music a few years ago and she immediately became one of my favourite artists. To be honest, I’m pretty beside myself that she’ll be joining us.” He praised Lubiana too, referring to her as “everything as an artist I stand behind.”
The North American leg of the tour will see Australian singer Eddie Benjamin supporting Mendes. He described Benjamin as an “unbelievably talented, humble human being & my brother.”
This tour follows the release of Mendes’ latest album, Shawn, which was launched in November 2024. It marks a significant moment for the Canadian artist, who is making his return to performing after a break from touring. Tickets and full details about the tour are expected to be announced soon.
