Khalid

Sydney — Monday 22 July 2024

In a world exclusive, multi-platinum selling superstar Khalid will celebrate the global release of his highly anticipated third album Sincere by performing it live for the very first time in-the-round in the Concert Hall on 5 and 6 August.

Featuring previously released singles Adore U and Please Don’t Fall In Love With Me and showcasing the Grammy-nominated artist's soulful vocals and unfiltered lyricism, Sincere delves into the 26-year-old’s evolution as an artist and explores the all-too-relatable feelings of growing up.

Sydney Opera House Head of Contemporary Music, Ben Mashall said, 

“In an already big year of music moments at Sydney Opera House, here’s an absolutely extraordinary global exclusive – the young, generation-defining artist Khalid is flying halfway around the world next week to premiere his new album Sincere. For two nights only, the acoustically revitalised Concert Hall will transform into an intimate, in-the-round twenty-five hundred seat setting for this megastar – who last played to more than 30,000 people in Sydney alone – a room perfect for Khalid’s utterly sublime voice. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime moment and I’m beyond thrilled he's bringing it here to share with us first.”

One of the most streamed performers of the past decade, Khalid has received multiple accolades including six Grammy Award nominations, six Billboard Music Awards, three American Music Awards and an MTV Video Music Award. In 2019, he was named one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People.
