Khalid Australia Tour 2027

Khalid has not announced any concerts in Australia or New Zealand for 2027. As of 9 October 2026 there is no 2027 date in either country. The confirmed shows are a few weeks away: the It's Always Summer Somewhere Tour visits Auckland, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth in November 2026, with Lauv as special guest on every night.

That run opens at Spark Arena in Auckland on Tuesday 10 November 2026, then moves to the Riverstage in Brisbane on Wednesday 11 November, Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on Friday 13 November, Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on Sunday 15 November and RAC Arena in Perth on Wednesday 18 November. It is his first arena tour of the region since the Free Spirit World Tour of 2019.

The El Paso singer has built a steady relationship with Australian and New Zealand audiences since 2017: club and theatre shows for American Teen, Splendour in the Grass and Origin Fields in 2018, arenas and Spilt Milk in 2019, and two intimate nights at the Sydney Opera House in 2024. This page sets out what is and is not confirmed beyond 2026 and lists his past concerts in both countries.

Khalid Australia Tour 2027: what is announced so far

There is no official information about Khalid concerts in Australia or New Zealand in 2027. No dates, venues or presales have been announced for next year, and any site selling 2027 tickets or offering a presale code for him is not official.

The It's Always Summer Somewhere Tour follows his fourth album, After the Sun Goes Down, released in October 2025. The Australian and New Zealand dates were announced in March 2026; presales began on Monday 23 March and the general sale opened at noon local time on Friday 27 March 2026. Lauv, the Los Angeles singer-songwriter, opens all five shows.

Compared with 2019, the shape of the tour has changed. Auckland gets one night instead of two, Sydney one instead of two, Adelaide is not on the route, and Perth returns with an arena show at RAC Arena after being left off the 2019 arena run. Brisbane moves outdoors, from the Brisbane Entertainment Centre to the Riverstage.

Nothing suggests a second leg in 2027 so far. If more dates in Australia or New Zealand are added, this page will be updated with the venues and the sale details as soon as they are official.

Before the Khalid Australia Tour 2027: Australia/NZ concert history

Khalid's first Australian headline shows came on Wednesday 8 November 2017 at the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney and Thursday 9 November at Festival Hall in Melbourne, eight months after American Teen was released. Both nights had a 15-song set from 'American Teen' and 'Let's Go' to 'Silence', 'Location', 'Rollin' and 'Young Dumb & Broke'. The archive also lists Spark Arena in Auckland on Sunday 12 November 2017, without a set list.

In 2018 he came back twice for festivals. He played Splendour in the Grass at North Byron Parklands on Friday 20 July 2018, and he was one of the two international headliners, with Cardi B, at Origin Fields at Langley Park in Perth, where he appeared on Sunday 30 December 2018.

The Free Spirit World Tour brought his first arena tour of the region in November and December 2019. It opened with two nights at Spark Arena in Auckland on Wednesday 20 and Thursday 21 November, then the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Tuesday 26 November, Rod Laver Arena on Thursday 28 November, the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Monday 2 December and two nights at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on Wednesday 4 and Thursday 5 December 2019.

Around those arena shows he also played the Spilt Milk festival, at Commonwealth Park in Canberra on Saturday 23 November and at Victoria Park in Ballarat on Saturday 30 November 2019. In all, the 2019 trip gave him nine concerts in Australia and New Zealand in just over two weeks, the busiest visit he has made.

His most recent concerts in Australia were very different: two nights in the Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House on Monday 5 and Tuesday 6 August 2024, presented as premiere shows for his album Sincere. The 24-song set on the first night included new songs such as 'Adore U', 'Altitude', 'Dose', 'Please Don't Fall in Love With Me' and 'Heatstroke' alongside 'Young Dumb & Broke', 'Silence', 'Eastside', 'Location', 'Talk' and 'Better'.

Perth has seen him only at Origin Fields so far, and Adelaide only once, in December 2019. The November 2026 tour adds Perth's arena for the first time, while Wellington and Christchurch have never had a Khalid concert in the data.

The table below lists 15 documented Australia/NZ concerts by Khalid between 2017 and 2024, with the most shows in Sydney (5), Auckland (3), Melbourne (2), Adelaide (1), Ballarat (1), Brisbane (1). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Khalid Australia Tour 2027 and Australia/NZ festivals

Khalid has played three Australian festivals in the data. The first was Splendour in the Grass at North Byron Parklands on 20 July 2018, where the archive keeps only part of his set ('American Teen', 'Saved', 'Young Dumb & Broke'). Later that year he co-headlined Origin Fields, the New Year's festival at Langley Park in Perth, on 30 December 2018, with Cardi B also at the top of the bill.

In November 2019 he played Spilt Milk in Canberra and Ballarat, the year the Canberra festival first expanded to Ballarat. The 2019 bill also included CHVRCHES, Juice WRLD, Illy, Middle Kids, G Flip, Ocean Alley, Dune Rats, Golden Features and Tones and I. His Ballarat set, on 30 November 2019, included '8TEEN', 'Another Sad Love Song', 'Talk', 'Location', 'Saved' and 'Young Dumb & Broke'.

Khalid Australia Tour 2027: career and records

Khalid Donnel Robinson was born on 11 February 1998 at Fort Stewart, Georgia, and moved often as a child because of his parents' military careers, including six years in Heidelberg, Germany. He finished high school in El Paso, Texas, where he was voted Most Likely to Go Platinum. His debut single 'Location' (2016) and 'Young Dumb & Broke' (2017) both reached the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100.

His debut album, American Teen, came out on 3 March 2017 and reached No. 13 in Australia. That year he featured on Logic's '1-800-273-8255' with Alessia Cara and released 'Silence' with Marshmello, which topped the dance charts in Australia, the UK and the US and went platinum in Australia and New Zealand.

In 2018 he had hits with 'Love Lies' (with Normani) and 'Eastside' (with Benny Blanco and Halsey), plus 'Better' from the Suncity EP. His second album, Free Spirit (2019), debuted at No. 1 in the US and reached No. 2 in Australia, his highest peak here; its single 'Talk' earned a Grammy nomination for Record of the Year. Time named him one of its 100 most influential people in 2019.

Sincere followed in 2024 and peaked at No. 46 in Australia, and After the Sun Goes Down, a 17-track album released in October 2025 with singles such as 'In Plain Sight', 'Nah' and 'out of body', reached No. 59. He has six Grammy nominations, six Billboard Music Awards and three American Music Awards.

Khalid Australia Tour 2027: the November 2026 run

The It's Always Summer Somewhere Tour is a five-show trip in nine days. It starts in New Zealand at Spark Arena on Tuesday 10 November 2026, crosses to Brisbane's Riverstage the next night, then plays Qudos Bank Arena on Friday 13 November and Rod Laver Arena on Sunday 15 November before finishing at RAC Arena in Perth on Wednesday 18 November.

Lauv is the special guest on every date. These shows are all in 2026; no further Australian or New Zealand date has been added for 2027, and the tour has not announced any extra nights in the region so far.

Khalid Australia Tour 2027: Auckland and New Zealand

Auckland is the only New Zealand city in Khalid's history. Spark Arena appears in the archive in November 2017 and hosted two Free Spirit nights on 20 and 21 November 2019, the opening shows of that Oceania leg. The 21 November set had 20 songs, opening with '8TEEN' and 'Hundred' and closing with 'Silence', 'OTW', 'Salem's Interlude' and 'Saturday Nights'.

In 2026 Auckland again opens the tour, on Tuesday 10 November, with a single night at Spark Arena. Wellington and Christchurch have never had a Khalid concert in the data, and none is announced.

Khalid Australia Tour 2027: Sydney, from the Hordern to the Opera House

Sydney has hosted Khalid more than any other city in the region. He played the Hordern Pavilion in November 2017, two nights at Qudos Bank Arena in December 2019 and two nights in the Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House in August 2024, one of the most unusual settings he has used anywhere.

The 2019 Qudos Bank Arena shows had the longest sets of all his Australian concerts, 29 and 31 songs, including 'Twenty One', 'Heaven', 'Cold Blooded', 'Paradise' and 'Self' alongside the hits. In 2026 he returns to Qudos Bank Arena for one night, on Friday 13 November.

Khalid Australia Tour 2027: Perth and Brisbane

Perth's only Khalid concert so far was Origin Fields on 30 December 2018. The 2019 arena tour stayed on the east coast and in Auckland, so RAC Arena on Wednesday 18 November 2026 will be his first headline show in Western Australia, and the last night of the tour.

Brisbane had the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on 26 November 2019, with a 26-song set. In 2026 the city moves to the Riverstage, the outdoor amphitheatre in the City Botanic Gardens, on Wednesday 11 November.

Khalid Australia Tour 2027: Melbourne nights

Melbourne has followed Khalid's growth step by step. His first show there was at Festival Hall on Thursday 9 November 2017, a 15-song set built on American Teen, when he was still 19 years old. Two years later he moved up to Rod Laver Arena on Thursday 28 November 2019 with a 26-song Free Spirit set, and two days after that he played Spilt Milk in nearby Ballarat.

His 2026 Melbourne date returns to Rod Laver Arena on Sunday 15 November, the only weekend night of the Australian leg besides Sydney's Friday show. Fans in regional Victoria have had just the one chance to see him outside the city, at Victoria Park in Ballarat in 2019.

Khalid Australia Tour 2027: what to expect live

The 2019 Free Spirit arena shows ran to 26 to 31 songs. In Brisbane and Melbourne they opened with 'Free Spirit', '8TEEN', 'Twenty One' and 'Hundred', moved through 'Saved', 'My Bad', 'Bad Luck', 'Bluffin'', 'Vertigo' and 'Motion', then built through 'Better', 'Location', 'Silence' and 'Talk' to a final run of 'Young Dumb & Broke', 'Eastside', 'Love Lies', 'OTW' and 'Saturday Nights'.

The 2017 club shows were shorter, 15 songs drawn almost entirely from American Teen, with 'Silence' as the only newer track. The 2024 Opera House nights built the set around Sincere, with 'lovely', his duet with Billie Eilish, among the older songs.

Across every Australian and New Zealand set list in the archive, 'Young Dumb & Broke', 'Location' and 'Saved' are the constants. The 2026 shows are expected to add songs from After the Sun Goes Down, but their set lists will only be known once the tour has started.

Khalid Australia Tour 2027 tickets and presales

There are no Khalid tickets for Australia or New Zealand in 2027, because no 2027 concerts have been announced. Any site offering 2027 seats or a presale code is not official.

For the November 2026 shows, presales ran from 23 March and the general sale opened on 27 March 2026. If seats remain, buy only through the official ticket seller for each venue, the venue box office or the artist's channels. Arena tickets are usually name-locked mobile tickets, so avoid social media sellers, and never pay for a 'presale code'.

Sign up below for the alert and we will email you if Khalid adds any date in Australia or New Zealand, including anything for 2027, with the venue and sale details.
