Khalid

In a world exclusive, multi-platinum selling superstar Khalid will celebrate the global release of his highly anticipated third album Sincere by performing it live for the very first time in-the-round in the Concert Hall on 5 and 6 August 2024.

Few artists have captured the voice of a generation quite like Khalid. This singer-songwriter transitioned from a Texan teen to a global pop-R&B sensation while still in high school. Now, at 26, Khalid is returning to his Australian fans with his signature big hooks, laid-back anthems, and smooth vibes for a world-exclusive performance of his long-anticipated album, Sincere. 

As one of the most streamed artists of the past decade, Khalid burst onto the scene with the diamond-selling hits "Location" (2016) and "Young Dumb & Broke" (2017), catapulting his debut album American Teen into the top five and earning him multiple Grammy nominations. He followed up with a series of era-defining collaborations, including massive tracks with Logic ("1-800-273-8255"), Benny Blanco ("Eastside"), Normani ("Love Lies"), Ed Sheeran ("Beautiful People"), and Billie Eilish ("lovely"). His first EP, Suncity (2018), produced the top-10 hit "Better," while his second album, Free Spirit (2019), featuring the top-five single "Talk," debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. 

With his recent singles "Adore U" and "Please Don’t Fall In Love With Me" showcasing his growth on this third album Sincere, the Sydney Opera House is excited to welcome the global superstar for his first live shows in Australia in five years. In this world-exclusive event, Khalid will perform the new album in its entirety at the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall in-the-round over two unforgettable nights. 

Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime performance from a true generational talent.
