Red Rocks announces new concert in October

The 26-year-old canceled his 2022 Wonder tour in the midst of the scheduled dates, citing the need to focus on his mental health.

MORRISON, Colo. — Shawn Mendes is making his comeback with a limited run of intimate concerts.

The Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter will be performing his newly announced self-titled album, “Shawn,” in its entirety.

The select run of shows includes stops in Tennessee, Brooklyn, Los Angeles, Seattle, Berlin, Toronto and Colorado. Mendes will perform at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver on Monday, Oct. 28.

Registration for tickets lasts through Monday, Sept. 30, at 7 a.m. MT. On Tuesday, Oct. 1, the rest of the tickets will be available via a Friends & Family sale for fans who receive a code.

The announcement of added shows follows the release of Shawn’s latest single, “Nobody Knows,” from last week.

Mendes’ fifth studio album draws from his travels and experiences over the last few years, following the cancellation of his 2022 tour. “Shawn” is set for release Oct. 18.

“I wasn’t totally prepared for the toll that being back on the road would take on me,” Mendes shared on social media. “I started this tour excited to finally get back to playing live after a long break due to the pandemic, but the reality is I was not at all ready for how difficult touring would be after this time away… After speaking more with my team and working with an incredible group of health professionals, it has become more clear that I need to take the time I’ve never taken personally, to ground myself and come back stronger.”
