His newest album, 2025’s Aura, may not have fired up the charts as much as his previous releases but Punjabi pop superstar Diljit Dosanjh continues to blaze a trail on the worldwide live touring circuit. The North American leg of his ongoing trek in support of the record just registered the largest pre-sale for a Live Nation tour by a south Asian artist, says the promoter.
Over 130,000 tickets were snapped up into days for Dosanjh’s 13-city, 15-date run from April to June, which will see him return to two stadiums, the BC Place in Vancouver and Rogers Centre stadium in Toronto where he made history by drawing more than 54,000 and 42,000 attendees respectively—the largest-ever for a Punjabi music concert outside of India.
Tickets for the Rogers Centre concert are sold out as are those for his gigs at Madison Square Garden in New York and Chase Center in San Francisco, two US venues where additional shows were added to meet the surging demand.
The Aura world tour, which kicked off last year, has already entered record books: Dosanjh staged the largest tour by a Punjabi artist in Australia and New Zealand where he performed for over 90,000 fans in October and November 2025. That six-city tour included two stadiums, CommBank in Sydney and AAMI Park in Melbourne.
Dosanjh has made it a habit of going where no other south Asian artist has gone before—he was the first Indian-born artist to perform at Coachella, for instance—while also maintaining a hugely successful singing and acting career back home. In 2025, he was nominated for an International Emmy Award for his lead role in the biopic Amar Singh Chamkila, while his most recent release, the Hindi film Border 2, has grossed over Rs350 crore (approx. $39m) at the Indian box-office.
