“TREAT YOU BETTER” NOW PLATINUM IN CANADA AND THE U.S.

ILLUMINATE AVAILABLE SEPTEMBER 23

07 SEPTEMBER 2016 (Toronto, ON) – Today, in support of his sophomore album Illuminate (out September 23 on Island Records / Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company), multi-platinum singer/songwriter Shawn Mendes announces his first-ever headlining arena world tour for 2017. The 44 announced Illuminate World Tour dates will kick off in the U.K. on April 27, running through August 23 in Boston, MA with many more dates yet to be announced in North America and globally. The North American leg of the arena tour will begin July 6 and will make stops in Vancouver and Montreal in Canada, and in major cities across the U.S. including a night at Los Angeles’ Staples Center. The upcoming album Illuminate features Shawn’s platinum-selling lead single “Treat You Better”, which has entered the Top 10 on both Billboard’s Hot 100 and Radio Songs charts. This is Shawn’s second Top 10 single on the Hot 100 after “Stitches” reached #4 last year. Following the success of “Treat You Better,” Shawn released three additional songs from Illuminate including “Mercy”, “Ruin”, and “Three Empty Words”, which are available immediately upon pre-ordering the album (see full track listing below). Shawn has recently come off of his sold-out Shawn Mendes World Tour surrounding the success of his platinum #1 debut album Handwritten. This Saturday, September 10, Shawn will headline New York City’s Madison Square Garden with The Illuminate Live Concert & Album Event, playing new music from his highly-anticipated forthcoming album for the first time.
