Khalid Announces 2026 Australian Tour

Khalid will make his long-awaited return to Australia and New Zealand this November.

Multi-platinum-selling American star Khalid is making his long-awaited return to Australia and New Zealand this November, today announcing five arena shows as part of his It’s Always Summer Somewhere Tour.

The Young, Dumb & Broke hitmaker last brought his show to arenas across Australia and New Zealand in 2019 to promote his Free Spirit album. In 2024, he returned to Australia for two exclusive shows at the Sydney Opera House, where he delivered the world-first premiere of his album, Sincere.

The tour begins in New Zealand, where Khalid will perform at Auckland’s Spark Arena on Tuesday, 10 November. He then heads to Australia, performing at Brisbane’s Riverstage on Wednesday, 11 November, Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on Friday, 13 November, Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Sunday, 15 November, and concludes the run at Perth’s RAC Arena on Wednesday, 18 November.

Telstra Plus Members will be first to access pre-sale tickets in Australia. The pre-sale opens on Monday, 23 March, at 10 am local time – head to the Telstra Plus website for more information.

The Frontier Members pre-sale follows on Thursday, 26 March, at 11 am local time, with the general sale on Friday, 27 March, commencing at 12 pm local time. You can find more ticketing information on the Khalid and Frontier Touring websites.

For his upcoming shows, Khalid will be joined by multi-platinum-certified singer, songwriter, and producer Lauv, who will be the special guest on all shows.

“It’s been a minute since I’ve been able to get out and really connect with people face to face, and I’ve missed that more than anything,” Khalid commented in a statement. “This tour feels like a full-circle moment for me—being back on stage, in places that I love, sharing these songs in real time, and feeling that energy again.”

Last October, Khalid released his most recent album, After The Sun Goes Down. The 17-track album finds him experimenting with R&B, blending smooth melodies with electro-pop and ‘80s-inspired synths.

Khalid has also entered 2026 with a bang: last month, he dropped the KYGO and Griffyn collaboration, Save My Love, which has become one of the fastest-moving tracks on this year’s dance charts. Today, he’s shared Dive Into Me with DJ Alok, keeping the dance momentum going.
