If you were wondering what happened to the global phenomenon Khalid since his last album dropped in 2019, you’re not alone. The American musician – whose soulful melodies blend confident R&B beats with impossibly catchy pop-style hooks – has been relatively quiet for the past few years, after sky-rocketing to fame straight out of high school with hits including 'Young, Dumb and Broke' and 'Location'. Now, aged only 26, Khalid has announced that he’s launching his third album – and he’s revealing it to the world right here in Sydney. Location? No other than the iconic Sydney Opera House.
After last performing to a crowd of more than 30,000 people at Qudos Bank Arena back in 2019, the Grammy-nominated musician is pairing things back for his album launch – performing the highly anticipated new album Sincere to an intimate audience of 2,500.
On August 5 and 6, the Sydney Opera House's Concert Hall will become an intimate 2,500-seat venue for Khalid, who previously performed to over 30,000 people in Sydney during his last visit.
