The Grammy-nominated American singer-songwriter Khalid is set to perform in Singapore on November 24 at The Star Theatre, part of his ongoing “It’s Always Summer Somewhere” world tour. The announcement comes after a string of sold-out shows across 23 cities in the United States, marking the first time the R&B star will headline a concert in the city-state.
Khalid, born Khalid Donnel Robinson, has become one of the most streamed artists of his generation. Since his breakout single “Location” in 2016, he has become the youngest artist to surpass 15 billion streams on Spotify. Over the past decade, the 25-year-old has earned seven Grammy nominations and collaborated with a who’s who of the music industry, including Billie Eilish, Ed Sheeran, Alicia Keys, and Benny Blanco.
A New Sound for a Global Tour
The “It’s Always Summer Somewhere” tour draws its name and inspiration from Khalid’s latest album, After the Sun Goes Down. The 17-track collection represents a stylistic shift from his earlier, more soulful work. It blends smooth R&B with electro-pop and 80s-inspired synths, a change that critics have described as a refreshing evolution of his sound.
The Singapore setlist is expected to include all of his chart-topping hits, such as “Location,” “Young Dumb & Broke,” “Better,” “Talk,” “Love Lies,” and “Eastside,” as well as newer material from the album.
