R&B Star Khalid Performing In Philadelphia Next Summer

PHILADELPHIA — Multi-platinum R&B star Khalid Tuesday announced his return to the stage with the "It’s Always Summer Somewhere Tour."

The 25-date North American tour will make a stop in Philadelphia on June 7, 2026.

Khalid will be joined at the Skyline Stage at Highmark Mann in Philadelphia by special guest Lauv.

Tickets will be available starting with artist presales 10 a.m. Wednesday. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale, beginning at 10 a.m. Friday online here.

Khalid, who was named one of TIME’s Most Influential People of 2019, released the RIAA-certified diamond "Location" right before his high school graduation.

His debut album "American Teen" was certified 4-time platinum, and his sophomore album "Free Spirit," released to critical acclaim in 2019, was declared a New York Times “Critic’s Pick” and was called “superb” by the Associated Press. The album, which has been certified 2x platinum, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 and features the Grammy-nominated multi-format No. 1 single "Talk."

Khalid has been streamed globally more than 35.6 billion times across all partners, has been nominated for seven Grammy Awards.

In 2020, he was named the youngest artist to surpass 15 billion streams on Spotify alone and was named BMI’s Pop Songwriter of the Year. To close out 2021, Khalid released his "Scenic Drive" tape which he describes as a companion piece to his 2018 EP Sun City. Khalid and Marshmello teamed up again on their 2022 summer hit “Numb,” making this the artist’s second collaboration following their 6x platinum smash hit “SILENCE” in 2017.

In 2023, Khalid was featured on the official soundtrack for Greta Gerwig’s Barbiemovie and joined Ed Sheeran in select cities across North America on his “+ – = ÷ x Tour."

He released his third album "Sincere" in 2024.

His most recent album "after the sun goes down" explores themes of love, self-discovery, openness, and freedom.
