Toronto music lovers, get ready—R&B star Khalid is set to perform a free outdoor concert on Thursday, June 12, 2025, as part of NXNE 2025, with the event taking place at Sankofa Square (formerly Yonge-Dundas Square).
🎤 Khalid Brings His Soulful Sound to NXNE
Khalid’s rise from breakout single Location to global R&B powerhouse is nothing short of remarkable. With a voice that blends vulnerability, smoothness, and soul, the El Paso-born singer has delivered hits like Talk, Young Dumb & Broke, and Better, earning multiple Grammy nominations and a devoted international fanbase.
His live shows are known for their emotional connection and genre-blurring energy, pulling from R&B, pop, and alternative sounds to deliver an experience that resonates with audiences of all ages.
📍 The Heart of the City, the Pulse of the Festival
The free outdoor concert at Sankofa Square will transform downtown Toronto into a summer night spectacle, with thousands expected to attend. The performance is part of the newly reimagined NXNE Festival, which has returned to its roots as a community-based, discovery-focused celebration of music and culture.
Presented in partnership with Billboard Canada, the stage at Sankofa Square will serve as the festival’s central hub. Khalid’s performance is the headlining event of the week.
