Khalid Announces Australian It's Always Summer Somewhere Tour, Coming to Perth in November
Global superstar Khalid is set to bring a headline tour to Perth for the first time since his last performance in the city at a festival in 2018. The 28-year-old American singer will return Down Under in November, kicking off his highly anticipated It's Always Summer Somewhere tour in Brisbane on November 11 before heading to Sydney, Melbourne, and wrapping up in Perth on November 18 at the iconic RAC Arena.
First Perth Headline Show Since 2018 Festival Appearance
The last time Khalid was in Perth was when he performed at the New Year's Eve festival Origin in 2018 alongside major artists like Cardi B, M.I.A, and Tash Sultana. This upcoming tour marks a significant return, offering fans a dedicated concert experience rather than a festival slot. Fans can expect to be treated to classic hits such as Young Dumb and Broke, Lovely, 8Teen, Location, and Love Lies, with his most recent collaboration with Kygo and Griffyn, Save My Love, sure to get crowds dancing energetically.
Support from Lauv and Tour Details
He will be supported by LA-based multi-platinum certified pop visionary Lauv at all shows, adding an extra layer of excitement for attendees. Lauv, known for his hit songs including a collaboration with Troye Sivan, complements Khalid's style perfectly. This tour marks Khalid's first arena shows in Australia since his Free Spirit tour in 2019, and he recently returned for two shows at the Sydney Opera House in 2024, where he delivered the world-exclusive premiere of his album Sincere.
Khalid's Rise to Stardom and Recent Achievements
The Texan singer has taken the world by storm since his first single Location exploded onto the scene right before his high school graduation, leading to a major label deal with Right Hand Music Group/RCA Records. He then released his debut album American Teen, followed by his critically acclaimed 2019 album Free Spirit, which features the Grammy-nominated song Talk. Many fans also know him for his collaborations with some of music's biggest stars, including Love Lies with Normani, Eastside with Halsey and Benny Blanco, as well as work with Alicia Keys, Billie Eilish, and Ed Sheeran.
In 2023, Khalid was featured on the official soundtrack for Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie with Silver Platter and joined Sheeran in cities across North America on his The Mathematics Tour. Last year, he released his most recent album, After The Sun Goes Down, which critics say marks a refreshing and joyous era of his artistry. No stranger to awards, Khalid was presented with the Disruptor award from Billboard at the 2025 Live Billboard Music Summit in November, recognized for his impact on the music industry after a decade of success.
