Shawn Mendes performs at an undisclosed location tonight for an iHeartRadio Secret Session that will be broadcast across Virgin Radio-branded stations in Canada, on CHUM FM in Toronto, and iHeartRadio.ca. The show airs commercial-free, beginning at 8 pm. ET.

Performing for an exclusive group of iHeartRadio fans, Mendes will be performing music from his new self-titled third album, with former The Launch mentor and pop star Julia Michaels joining him on stage for their duet “Like to Be You”.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for fans to get up-close to one of the biggest stars in the world, and we’re thrilled to be able to offer these exclusive opportunities,” said Rob Farina, Head of Radio Content, Strategy, and iHeartRadio. “Now with a commercial-free simulcast, it allows us to connect this big-ticket event with fans across the country, and that’s what radio is all about.”
