Khalid recently performed in Europe, supporting Lorde on her Melodrama tour. Kicking off his Roxy tour on January 27 in New York City’s Radio City Music Hall, he will perform in Europe throughout February in Berlin, Stockholm, Warsaw, Munich and other major cities including three U.K. shows in London, Glasgow and Manchester. Khalid will then perform for audiences in Vancouver, Seattle, Los Angeles, Denver, Austin and Philadelphia among others during May and June. The tour wraps up on June 7 in Raleigh, North Carolina. Tickets for all venues can be purchased here.
Since he is a passionate advocate for pet adoption, Khalid will donate $1 to a local animal shelter for every ticket sold in each city. His tour is named Roxy after his pit bull mix, which Khalid rescued from a Los Angeles animal shelter.
November 28 was a great day for this young artist since he was nominated for five Grammy Awards: Best New Artist, Song of the Year, Best R&B Song, Best Urban Contemporary Album and Best Music Video. On the same day he announced his 2018 tour.
This young singer from El Paso Texas released his debut album “American Teen” in March 2017. His debut single “Location” was released in July 2016 and was certified platinum. “Location” is about how in digital time we are so caught up in communication over our phones rather than face to face. He wrote it for a girl referencing to young love and how he would rather speak to her looking her in her eyes instead of tweeting. With this strong message, song gained such immense popularity.
That very song is nominated for Song of the Year Grammy Award. Khalid has said his mother is his greatest inspiration and also cited Kendrick Lamar, Lorde, Frank Ocean and James Blake as influences.
