Shawn Mendes Makes Indonesian Debut in Shawn Mendes: The Tour Asia

-

A concert debut in Indonesia by Shawn Mendes gained an overwhelmi­ngly positive reaction from his loyal fans as their wishes over many years finally came true. With the theme “Shawn Mendes: The Tour Asia” the tour started in Bangkok on October 1 and will end in Tokyo on October 16, 2019. This Asian tour is a part of the world tour which kicked off in Amsterdam earlier this March and is scheduled to end in Mexico City in December 2019.

Promoted by AEG Present, MTG, PK Entertainm­ent, and Sound Rhythm, along with Traveloka and Cornetto as sponsors, this concert attracted thousands of fans from across Indonesia just to see their idol in the flesh for the very first time. In spite of the rainy day, it did not hinder their excitement to come to Sentul Internatio­nal Convention Centre, Bogor on Tuesday October 8, 2019.

He opened his concert with “Lost in Japan” and continued with “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back,” “Nervous,” and his other hit songs. With a total of 22 songs, the concert ran for about 2 hours.

Shawn Mendes, a 21-year- old Canadian singer and songwriter, who initially rose to fame through singing cover songs on the now- defunct video-sharing site Vine, made his mark on the internatio­nal pop scene with his song “Stitches” in 2015. Some of his most well-known songs are “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back” and “Treat You Better” which reached the top ten in many countries. In 2018, he became the first artist to achieve four number-one singles in Adult Pop Songs before the age of 20.
