Texas R&B and pop artist Khalid is hitting the road for his 2026 It’s Always Summer Somewhere Tour, including a stop at the 713 Music Hall in downtown Houston on June 18, 2026.<\/p>\n

The 25-date tour starts in Las Vegas, Nevada, in May and ends in Berkeley, California, in June. In addition to the Houston date, he’ll stop in Irving on June 17 and Austin on June 19. He appears to be skipping his adopted hometown of El Paso, where his family moved when he was in high school and where he started his music career.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old artist originally became known as a teenager on SoundCloud, resulting in several notable features and the critically acclaimed album American Teen. Since those days, he’s had features on tracks by Marshmello, Billie Eilish, Halsey, and Normani, among others. He’s released four albums in total, including 2025’s After the Sun Goes Down.<\/p>\n

Khalid has been nominated to many notable awards and won at least 20, including five at the Billboard Music Awards in 2020 and Best New Artist at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards. He’s had six Grammy nominations so far.<\/p>\n

Pop singer Lauv, known for the breakout hit “I Like Me Better,” will join Khalid for all stops on the tour.<\/p>\n

Tickets are available now in an artist pre-sale. The general on sale will start Friday, December 12, at 10 am via khalidofficial.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
