R&B sensation Khalid to perform in Dubai this October

He’s known for melodic electro R&B bangers as Better, Eastside, and Love Lies, and you’ll be able to hear them all live as superstar Khalid is coming to Dubai.

The award-winning American singer-songwriter will perform in the emirate for the first time on Friday October 27, headlining at the Coca-Cola Arena. Tickets are on sale now, priced from Dhs199. Those under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult and are not permitted in  the general admission standing floor area.

Despite being just 25 years old, Khalid’s instantly recognisable soulful sound and thought-provoking lyrics have made him one of the hottest names in R&B in recent years. Since finding fame with his debut album American Teen in 2017, Khalid – full name Khalid Robinson – has amassed six Grammy nominations, six Billboard Music Awards, three American Music Awards and an MTV Video Music Award. And we cannot wait to see him perform in Dubai for the first time.

Although this will be his debut Dubai gig, it’s not the first time he’s performed in the UAE. In 2021, he was one of the A-List headliners at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix after-race concerts.

It’s shaping up to be a mega music month in the city this October. Also taking place at Coca-Cola Arena, legendary American band KISS are set to rock Dubai on October 13. The iconic four-piece will take to the stage for the last time as part of their ‘End of the World’ tour. Then on October 21, the City Walk arena will welcome iconic Jamaican rapper Sean Paul, who has been making beats that have us jamming out on the dancefloor for over two decades.

A day after Khalid, it’s time to fix up, look sharp as British music legend Dizzee Rascal will take to the stage at Emirates Golf Club on October 28.
