Khalid brings his It’s Always Summer Somewhere Tour to Radio City Music Hall on Friday, June 12 at 7:30 PM ET — and if this night has been on your calendar for months, it’s almost here. Radio City is one of New York’s great rooms, and Khalid’s atmospheric R&B translates perfectly to a venue that size.
Getting There
Friday’s forecast throws a wrinkle into the commute: high near 90°F with a chance of showers and thunderstorms developing after 2 PM. If you’re walking from the subway or a parking structure, expect humid, muggy air and the real possibility of catching rain on the way in — the National Weather Service puts precipitation chances at 30%. Give yourself extra buffer, check the radar before you leave the house, and know that summer storms in Midtown can show up fast.
Once you’re through the doors, the weather is someone else’s problem.
One thing worth flagging: Radio City runs its air conditioning hard. Walking in from 90-degree heat into an aggressively cooled theater is a shock to the system. A Khalid hoodie solves this neatly — rep the tour and stay comfortable when the AC does its thing during the opening set.
Rep the Show
This is one of those tours worth dressing for. A Khalid t-shirt is the default, but the Khalid hat is a strong pick if you want something you’ll actually wear past this week. Heading home with a Khalid poster is a solid way to remember the night — Radio City shows tend to feel like events.
If you’re sensitive to concert volume, a pair of concert ear plugs high fidelity is worth tossing in your bag. They cut decibels without killing the mix, which matters in a room with acoustics as good as Radio City’s.
Practical Tips
- Arrive early. Midtown on a hot Friday evening with storms in the forecast means slower foot traffic and longer entry lines. Build in at least 30–45 minutes.
- Check the bag policy before you go — Radio City has size restrictions and clear-bag rules for some events.
- Skip the car. Parking near 50th and Sixth on a Friday night is a genuine ordeal. Subway or rideshare is the move.
- 7:30 PM ET start puts you heading in right around when afternoon storms could still be clearing — that buffer is your friend.
Khalid named this tour correctly. Friday, June 12 is going to feel like full summer from the moment you step outside. Get there dry, get there early, and enjoy the show.
