Shawn Mendes Kicks Off 2025 Tour at Iconic Forest Hills Stadium
I’m guessing your concert calendar is embarrassingly blank, so here’s a crystal-clear briefing on Shawn Mendes’ freshly announced 2025 world tour. The Canadian heartthrob took to Instagram on June 14, 2024, to unveil a stadium-sized leap from his arena days. Kicking off June 3 in Vancouver and hitting legendary venues across North America, Europe and Asia, the trek pivots around a standout Forest Hills Stadium date on June 12, 2025, in Queens.
Let’s break this down step by painstaking step, since you’ve probably never navigated an online ticket sale before. The global on-sale officially launches June 21 at 10 a.m. local time via Live Nation, while fan-club presales (that’s your Verified Fan code if you still have it) open as early as June 19. Ticket prices start around $70 for lawn spots—if you can handle sitting on the grass—and stretch into the high hundreds for prime lower-bowl seats. Yes, you’ll want to budget appropriately.
Presale access will be granted to those who pre-register on Mendes’ official site or via his Apple Music page. In case you missed the memo, these presales often sell out within minutes. Consider setting multiple browser tabs, refreshing like your life depends on it, and double-checking your payment info. A pro tip: signing up for Live Nation’s email alerts can land you early purchase windows for VIP packages, complete with exclusive merch and meet-and-greet possibilities.
Tour highlights include stops at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium, London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Tokyo Dome. Mendes promises a setlist stacked with both crowd-pleasing anthems from “Wonder” and collaborative hits like “Señorita.” He’s even teasing a few deep cuts for the die-hard fans—so brace yourself if you thought you knew every lyric. Production notes mention a “high-energy visual spectacle,” suggesting elaborate stage effects and possibly surprise guest appearances.
If you’re still struggling to wrap your head around this, here’s a quick checklist: create a Live Nation account, join the Shawn Mendes fan club, lock down presale codes, choose your Forest Hills date, and clear your schedule for June 12, 2025. And please, don’t assume tickets will magically appear on resale markets at face value—you know how scalpers work.
So there you have it: an idiot-proof guide to securing your spot at one of 2025’s must-see pop spectacles. Now that you’ve been enlightened, try not to miss out.
Glad I could get you up to speed without turning it into rocket science.
