He’s finally coming, it may be almost a year and a half from the release of his album Wonder  Shawn Mendes is headed on the road for his Wonder tour. First starting off in Europe before finally heading to North America and on July 2nd, of 2022 Shawn will be here in Vancouver at Rogers Arena. 

The Canadian-born artist from Pickering Ontario has come a long way since his days of posting song covers songs on Vine back in 2013. By May of 2014, Mendes signed with Island Records and by mid-summer, Shawn released his first single Life of the Party which proceeded to make Shawn the youngest debut to debut in the top 25 on the US Billboard Hot 100. From there the ball only kept rolling as Mendes would go on to release his first album Handwritten which held the song Stitches which would go on to peak at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming his first top 10 single in the US.

Three years later Shawn released his Album Illuminate in 2017. Where the songs Treat You Better and There’s Nothing Holdin Me Back would go on to reach 1.4 and 1.1 billion streams each on Spotify. With the massive success of Illuminate and these 2 songs, it was only 1 year later with the release of Señorita on the deluxe edition of his self-titled album Mendes hit new heights with Señorita reaching just shy of 2 billion streams on Spotify. 

Despite having to wait over nine months for Shawn Mendes it’s still great to finally be able to see him in concert once again.
