Shawn Mendes to celebrate 10 years since his first album with On the Road Again tour

Shawn Mendes celebrates a decade since his debut with an extensive tour across Europe and North America.

"It's an honor and I'm just beyond grateful that you guys keep showing up after 10 years with so much love. - Shawn Mendes"

Washington, May 30

Singer Shawn Mendes announced his upcoming On the Road Again Tour, set to celebrate 10 years since his debut album, Handwritten, later this year with dates in Europe and North America.

"I feel like time away has allowed me to come back and recognize and remember how unbelievably special it is to get to play live shows," said Mendes in a statement about the tour. "It's an honor and I'm just beyond grateful that you guys keep showing up after 10 years with so much love," reported People.

Kicking off August 2 at the Sunny Hill Festival in Pristina, Kosovo, the tour will make stops in cities including London, Amsterdam, Madrid, Munich, Boston, Toronto, New York, Chicago, Vancouver and San Francisco before wrapping October 17 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.

Mendes will be joined by opening acts MARO and Lubiana in Europe and Eddie Benjamin in North America. "I came across MARO's music a few years ago and she immediately became one of my favorite artists," he said. "To be honest, I'm pretty beside myself that she'll be joining us," according to People.

He continued, "Same with Lubiana, she blows me away and just embodies everything as an artist I stand behind. And finally this unbelievably talented, humble human being & my brother, Eddie, will be joining in North America."

The On the Road Again Tour comes after Mendes' latest album, Shawn, was released in November 2024, reported People.

So excited for Shawn! Been a fan since "Stitches" days. Wish he would add India to his tour dates though 😭 We have such a huge fanbase here. Maybe next time? #ShawnComeToIndia

His music got me through college! 10 years already? Time flies. The Hollywood Bowl show would be amazing but flights from Mumbai are too expensive. Hope he releases a concert film later.

Love how Shawn always promotes new artists like MARO. Indian musicians could learn from this - we need more big stars supporting indie talent. His humility is refreshing in today's music scene.

Not really my type of music but respect his dedication. 10 years in the industry is no joke. Wonder if he'll ever collaborate with Indian artists? A fusion track could be interesting.

His London show is on my birthday! Best gift ever if I can convince my parents to let me go 😅 Indian parents + international concert = tough negotiation skills needed!

While I appreciate his music, I wish international artists would acknowledge their Indian fanbase more. We stream their songs, buy merch, but rarely get tour stops here. The market is huge!
