At the time, he had shared his excitement about finally meeting his Indian fans, writing, “This is going to be my first time in India wowowow thank u guys!!!!”

Six years later, Khalid is finally making it to India, turning this tour into a long-awaited promise fulfilled.

About Khalid

Khalid shot to fame with his 2017 debut album American Teen, which introduced audiences to hits like Location and Young, Dumb & Broke. He soon became a go-to collaborator, working with some of the biggest artists in the industry. He featured on Logic’s Grammy-nominated track 1-800-273-8255 and joined Calvin Harris on Rollin'. He also teamed up with Benny Blanco and Halsey for the Top 10 hit Eastside. His collaboration with Normani, Love Lies, was another major chart success, while his track Lovely with Billie Eilish became one of his most popular collaborations. The songs quickly established him as one of pop and R&B's most recognisable young artists and earned him two Grammy nominations.

Several songs from the album After the Sun Goes Down have also made their way into Khalid’s It’s Always Summer Somewhere tour setlist. Fans can expect to hear Out of Body, Please Don’t Call (333), In Plain Sight, Dumbstruck, Whenever You’re Gone, Yes No Maybe, Medicine and Rendezvous during the tour.
