The Canadian teen who makes girls swoon, Shawn Mendes will return to St. Paul on Aug. 2 at Roy Wilkins Auditorium.

Mendes has performed at the last two KDWB Jingle Balls and headlined his own show at Northrop Auditorium last year.

The 17-year-old built a following by posting his videos on Vine. His tunes "Stitches," "Life of the Party" and "Something Big" have also received considerable radio airplay.

Tickets, priced at $40, will go on sale at 10 a.m. Feb. 6 at Ticketmaster outlets and the Wilkins box office.

But there are two special pre-sales. Fan-club members may purchase tickets at 4 p.m. Feb. 1, and American Express card holders may purchase tickets from 10 a.m. Feb. 2 until 10 p.m. Feb. 5.
