ARIA is excited to reveal the final international guest for the 2019 ARIA Awards. Multi-platinum global superstar Khalid is confirmed to be returning to Sydney to perform at the 2019 ARIA Awards at Sydney’s The Star Event Centre on Wednesday, 27th November 2019, broadcast on the Nine Network, live streamed internationally on YouTube, and hosted by Guy Sebastian.
Khalid is set to perform at this year’s ARIA Awards ceremony while touring Australia throughout late November/early December on his Free Spirit Tour. He is also nominated for an ARIA Award this year, in the category of Best International Artist.
Dan Rosen, ARIA Chief Executive says, “What a thrill to have global superstar Khalid as one of our performers at the 2019 ARIA Awards. He is one of the most exciting and authentic new voices in music, with fans all around the world and Australia. We all look forward to seeing him bring his unique brand of music and energy to the ARIAs on November 27.”
Minister for Tourism, Stuart Ayres says, “Once again, Sydney is set to host a star-studded line up for the 2019 ARIA Awards and ARIA week, cementing the city’s reputation as Australia’s music and creative arts hub across the Asia Pacific, highlighting and celebrating our incredible home grown talent and welcoming the world’s hottest international artists to our iconic harbour city. I encourage everyone to book their tickets as soon as possible and plan their stay in Sydney to enjoy a week of celebrations to support our vibrant music industry.”
Five-time Billboard Music Award nominee Khalid dropped his gold-certified debut album ‘American Teen’ in 2017 to instant critical acclaim, shattering expectations by staying on the Billboard 200 chart for more than 60 weeks. ‘American Teen’ earned him 5 Grammy nominations, and featured 7 x platinum smash hit ‘Young Dumb & Broke’, and 4 x platinum hit ‘Location’.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
