Following a recent sold-out headline show at one of New York’s most distinguished venues, Madison Square Garden, the Illuminate World Tour will see the Canadian native embark on his first-ever set of arena performances across the world. The huge string of 45 shows will kick off in the UK at Glasgow’s SSE Hydro on 27 April 2017 and will continue across Europe and North America until 23 August 2017. The tour will now stop off at London’s The O2 for two consecutive nights as well as Manchester Arena along the way. First Access pre-sale begins on Wednesday 23 November at 4pm, Fan Club pre-sale begins on Thursday 24 November at 10am, before General Public Sale on Saturday 26 November at 10am.

Shawn’s powerful and emotive songwriting has lead him to selling over 10 million tracks worldwide, with ‘Stitches’ equating to 1.3 million single sales in the UK alone and 4 million albums globally; his first album Handwritten has now also reached Gold status in the UK. At just 18 years old, he is also fast becoming one of the most recognised artists of his generation winning a People’s Choice Award 2016 for “Favourite New Artist,” named one of Time Magazine’s “Most Influential Teens” of 2014 and 2015 and, more recently, included in Forbes’ esteemed “30 Under 30” list earlier this year. To end a monumental year, fans will be able to catch Shawn headlining Capital FM’s Jingle Bell Ball on Sunday 4th December following his biggest US TV appearance to date on Saturday Night Live the night before.
