Shawn Mendes’s self-titled tour is set to hit Columbus on Aug. 27 at Nationwide Arena. The Grammy-Award nominated artist is accompanied by Alessia Cara for the U.S. portion of the tour.
Mendes has taken the pop charts by storm with songs If I Can’t Have You and recent collaboration with Camila Cabello on Señorita, which is number 2 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. The tour will feature music from Mendes’s entire discography and will swoon anyone in the audience.
The artist has come a long way in just a few short years. Mendes got his start performing covers on the social media platform, Vine. Three albums and several live musical performances later, the Canadian pop star will be on his world tour for the remainder of 2019 making his way through North America, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and Latin America.
Opening performer, Alessia Cara, is set to take the stage at 7:30 p.m. A select number of tickets are still available, but will likely sell out fast. For more information, visit www.ticketmaster.com
