Shawn Mendes Announces Performance at the Fox Theatre, August 10

With his #1 debut album, #1 single "Stitches" and now second Pop Radio hit "I Know What You Did Last Summer" extending his momentum into the new year, Island Records recording artist Shawn Mendes has announced his "Shawn Mendes World Tour" including a performance at the Fox Theatre Wednesday, August 10 at 7:30 p.m. The tour opens across Europe with 11 dates in April-May, and then arrives in North America with 26. Preceding these shows, Shawn will play his biggest New York City concert to date, headlining Radio City Music Hall on Saturday, March 5, which sold-out in less than 5 minutes when tickets went on-sale this past fall.

Tickets ($40) go on sale Saturday, February 6 at 10 a.m. and can be purchased at OlympiaEntertainment.com, the Fox Theatre and Joe Louis Arena box offices, Hockeytown Authentics in Troy (without service charge) at all Ticketmaster locations and Ticketmaster.com.

"I Know What You Did Last Summer," the RIAA gold single duet by Shawn and Camila Cabello of Fifth Harmony, has gone Top 15 at Pop Radio, Top 10 on iTunes, Top 20 on the U.S. Spotify chart, and Top 30 on Spotify's Global Top 50. The video for "IKWYDLS" is currently past 35 million YouTube views. Shawn and Camila wrote the song together backstage in his green room at a Taylor Swift 1989 Tour show last summer, and recorded it secretly in New York and Los Angeles.

When Handwritten, now double platinum with a total of 2 million adjusted sales, entered Soundscan at #1 last year, it made Shawn the youngest artist in nearly five years to chart a #1 album on the Billboard 200. "IKWYDLS" follows up Shawn's run of consecutive hit singles "Life of The Party" (RIAA platinum), "Something Big" (RIAA platinum) and "Stitches" (RIAA 4x-platinum). "Stitches" went to #1 on US Pop radio, nearing pole position at the Hot AC formats and has become a certifiable airplay and sales smash around the world. In addition to topping the official singles chart in the UK this week, the single has hit #1 on iTunes in over 20 markets and reached Top 5 on the Global Spotify chart. Shawn also took home the MTV EMA for Best New Artist and the People's Choice Award for Favorite Breakout Artist.
