The LA Philharmonic is thrilled to announce an exciting addition to The Ford 2024 season: GRAMMY-nominated and multi-platinum singer/songwriter Shawn Mendes will perform live at The Ford on October 22, 2024. Mendes will be showcasing songs from his highly anticipated fifth studio album, Shawn, set for release in Fall 2024.
The announcement follows Shawn’s exciting news from yesterday that his new self-titled album, “Shawn,” will be released on October 18. During these shows, Shawn will perform the forthcoming album live in its entirety for fans in an intimate theater setting in locations where he recorded the album, including Woodstock, NY., London, Nashville, Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and Seattle. Watch a trailer for the shows here.
About the shows, Shawn wrote on Instagram, “For my friends and family 🤍 wanted the first shows back to be special & to play this album for you live in the places we recorded it. I’ve never played an album top to bottom before but it’s already one of my favorite shows I’ve ever rehearsed I love you guys, the band and I can’t wait to see you!”
A limited number of randomly selected fans will be given the chance to purchase tickets by signing up during the designated registration window for each show.
The new album is Shawn’s fifth studio release and draws deeply from his travels and experiences over the last few years, following the cancellation of his 2022 tour. It represents his most musically intimate and lyrically honest work to date, guiding listeners through a profound self-dialogue with each song. Written and recorded over the course of two years, the project was crafted in diverse locations including Nosara, Costa Rica; Clubhouse Studio in Rhinebeck, NY; Bear Creek Studio in Washington State; Darkhorse Recordings in Nashville; and Electric Lady in New York City.
