Shawn Mendes fans are buzzing with excitement after a series of clues point to a possible return to the stage. The Canadian singer-songwriter has seemingly teased a new tour via social media and street advertising, igniting speculation just months after wrapping his low-key “For Friends and Family Only” tour.
On Wednesday, May 28, Shawn took to Instagram Stories to share a throwback tweet from 2019 that read, “I’m ready to play some shows again, let’s get back on tour!!!!!!!!!!” The timing of the post, coupled with recent street art sightings, suggests that something big is coming.

One major clue was found on a Los Angeles sidewalk: a stencil reading “SHAWN MENDES NORTH AMERICA 2025” alongside the date “FRI. OCT 17 HOLLYWOOD BOWL.” This guerilla-style promotion has fans convinced a formal announcement is imminent.
Social media reactions have been swift and emotional. Fans on X (formerly Twitter) shared their excitement with posts like, “A SHAWN MENDES TOUR would actually heal me,” and “We are so back,” hinting at how much anticipation surrounds his return.
The speculation follows the release of Mendes’ fifth studio album, Shawn, in November 2024. The introspective folk-pop project marked a new musical chapter for the artist, though it underperformed commercially, debuting at No. 26 on the Billboard 200. His last tour leaned into intimacy, featuring stripped-down performances in smaller venues.
