Khalid has confirmed a headline tour across Australia and New Zealand in 2026. The announcement marks his long-awaited return to the region.
Tour Dates and Cities
The U.S. singer-songwriter will kick off the tour in November. He will perform arena shows across major cities.
Stops include Auckland, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth. Fans can expect large-scale performances at some of the region’s biggest venues.
Joining him on all dates is fellow U.S. artist Lauv.
First Major Tour Since 2019
This tour marks Khalid’s first full run in Australia and New Zealand since 2019. He previously returned in 2024 for two special shows at the Sydney Opera House.
Those performances supported the premiere of his third album, Sincere.
New Album Era
The upcoming tour supports his latest album, After the Sun Goes Down, released in October.
In an interview with Rolling Stone AU/NZ, Khalid described the project as a new creative chapter. He said he drew inspiration from pop icons like Rihanna, Britney Spears, and Janet Jackson.
Khalid explained that he explored early 2000s pop culture influences. He also embraced a more personal and authentic artistic direction.
Tickets and Availability
Tickets for all tour dates go on sale on Friday, March 27. Sales begin at midday local time.
High demand is expected, given Khalid’s global popularity and long absence from the region.
