Khalid announces 2026 “It’s Always Summer Somewhere” tour with stop in Bridgeport

Khalid to perform at Hartford Healthcare amp in bridgeport connecticut in may 2026 — Khalid

Multi-platinum global superstar Khalid will return to the road in 2026 with his It’s Always Summer Somewhere Tour, a 25-date North American run that includes a performance at the Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater in Bridgeport on May 28, 2026. The tour, produced by Live Nation, will feature special guest Lauv.

Tickets will be available beginning Wednesday, Dec. 10, at 10 a.m. through an artist presale, with the general on-sale set for Friday, Dec. 12, at 10 a.m. at KhalidOfficial.com.

The tour marks a new chapter for Khalid, who has continued to evolve since first emerging as one of pop and R&B’s most relatable young voices. His 2017 debut album, American Teen, propelled him to global fame with hits including “Location” and “Young Dumb & Broke.” He has since delivered the chart-topping album Free Spirit, the Suncity EP, Sincere, and after the sun goes down, further solidifying his reputation as a versatile and emotionally resonant songwriter.

In addition to his solo work, Khalid has become a sought-after collaborator, contributing to major hits such as Marshmello’s “Silence,” Billie Eilish’s “lovely,” Halsey’s “Eastside,” and Normani’s “Love Lies.”

Khalid’s Bridgeport performance will bring his laid-back energy, signature vocals and reflective storytelling to one of Connecticut’s most popular outdoor venues as part of a tour designed to capture the warmth and optimism that have defined his music.

The It’s Always Summer Somewhere Tour kicks off next spring, with Khalid set to perform in cities across the U.S. and Canada before concluding in early summer.
