Khalid Concert Schedule
Hailed as one of the voices of the millennial generation, Khalid found fame virtually overnight with a blend of melancholic R&B, smooth synth-pop and relatable tales of 21st-century teenage life. In stark contrast to his famously languid vocal delivery, the singer-songwriter is a magnetic force on stage, whether he's jumping around with American flag-themed cheerleaders, revealing the stories behind the songs or inspiring the crowd to sing along to every word. He first hit the road in 2017 with the 21-city Location trek before announcing a more expansive American Teen tour that allowed both his North American and European fans to soak up the Khalid live experience.
Khalid Background
Born in Beirut, Lebanon, in 1998, Khalid Amhearst Robinson constantly moved around as a child due to his mother's military career, spending time in the Middle East, New York and Germany before settling in El Paso, Texas, in his mid-teens. Inspired by the sounds of '90s R&B and contemporary artists as eclectic as Alt-J, Frank Ocean and Father John Misty, Khalid began making music shortly after. Produced by Syk Sense, Tunji Ige and Smash David, the 2016 debut single "Location" immediately put him on the map, with high-profile support from the likes of Rolling Stone, Billboard and BuzzFeed helping it to reach No. 16 on the US Hot 100 and amass over 35 million plays on Spotify. Khalid's 2017 debut album, American Teen, further positioned him as an important new voice, peaking at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and spawning another Top 40 hit, "Young, Dumb and Broke." Khalid subsequently became an in-demand guest artist, with Logic ("1-800-273-8255"), Calvin Harris ("Rollin'"), Marshmello ("Silence") and Lorde ("Homemade Dynamite") all utilizing his rich, soulful croon to hit-making effect. Khalid also toured with Lorde in 2017, appeared at various festivals including SXSW, SnowGlobe and iHeartRadio Music Festival, made his TV debut on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and was crowned Best New Artist at the MTV Video Music Awards. In the short space of a year, he also gained 1.5 million followers on Twitter and Instagram.

The line getting in went pretty fast the temperature was comfortable inside the Don Haskins Center. The concert itself was Fantastic Khalid and guests did a wonderful job Thank You!
The concert was absolutely amazing, the atmosphere was incredible. Seeing this genuine young man is so humble and that makes his performance even greater. Khalid absolutely has such an special aura about him that just makes hearing him even more special. Thank you for all you do for the Sun City Khalid!!!
Khalid is an amazing performer and is definitely just as good in person as he is on the radio! He brought El Paso together when we needed to be brought together the most and for that...I say “Thank you Khalid” ❤️
My 12 year old daughter loved the show ! Khalid has such a beautiful soulful voice . Thank you for putting on this benefit concert for El Paso ! We love you you even more.
Beautiful voice..beautiful soul..he is very loved by El Paso!!
It was an amazing experience for my first time going to an actual concert. It was so emotional for me💙
The event was well put together on such short notice. I love the fact it was sold out and benefits the victims.
Khalid put on an amazing show! We loved it.... he’s an amazing artist but an even greater human being. Elpasosrong
We were able to purchase floor tickets. Everything was absolutely great! I love that the floor tickets were not oversold. This gave people enough room to be comfortable and the option to be crowded at the front (if you chose to do that) or hang back by the sound control booth. Our overall experience was great and comfortable!
Thoroughly enjoy this experience lighting visuals everything was amazing
First of all, this was a benefit concert for victims of the mass shooting that happened recently in El Paso, TX. That speaks volumes. Second, there were many more people that were involved with this benefit concert... actors, politicians, and several musical artists that were all amazing speakers, supporters and entertainers. Last but definitely not least, Khalid was fanfreakingtastic!!! He sang his heart out and was an amazing entertainer! Will definitely see him in concert again!
Khalid is one of my favorite artists. He performed for well over an hour and brought other amazing people to speak and perform as well. He’s truly an inspiration. It was a great performance!
So happy we were able to come together for a great cause. May God Bless the victims, their families, and Khalid. Do good and good will come to you <3
I bought the tickets for my son and his girlfriend as a gift and to support a great cause. They really enjoyed the concert and the guest Khalid brought along with him.
This show was a benefit for Khalid's adopted hometown of El Paso. I loved every minute of it. Was it the biggest, best most over the top ever? No. It's Khalid, not Queen Bey or Bruce Springsteen. It was however, one of the best I've seen in El Paso purely because of the motivation and intent. The pure love, the El Paso audience, was very healing. Over a half a million dollars for the victims was raised through ticket and shirt sales and donations. All hail the Great Khalid for doing this for us.
My view wasn't obstructed and saw the whole concert. It was truly amazing!
Venue needs to improve accessibility for wheelchair access!
Got these tickets for my daughters and they loved it!
So excited to have been apart of helping heal Sun City. Great show. Love Khalid and his love for his city.
