Shawn Mendes has built up an adoring and dedicated fanbase, and now they will finally be able to see their idol live. After days of anticipation, on Wednesday (Jan. 27), the "Stitches" singer announced his 2016 tour dates, featuring a string of shows in Europe and a lengthy North American leg.

Mendes rolled out his tour dates on iHeartRadio's Twitter and Snapchat, but for those who couldn't keep up with the social media madness, the dates shortly went up on his official website (promptly crashing it).

The live dates will kick off with a pair of one-off shows in New York City and Houston, before Mendes jumps over to Europe for 11 shows, including big dates in Paris and London in May.

Come July, Mendes will be all about the United States and his native Canada. His North American tour will kick off on July 15 in Boca Raton, Florida, and hit up cities like Atlanta, Seattle, Vancouver, Chicago and Nashville before Mendes wraps things up on Aug. 21 in his hometown of Toronto.
