Karan Aujla is coming to Aotearoa New Zealand.
As part of his world tour, the Punjabi music sensation will play Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland’s Spark Arena on August 25th (see full details below).
Tickets to the show go on sale to the general public on Friday, June 19th at 11am local time. The artist pre-sale begins on Wednesday, June 17th at 10am local time, while the Live Nation pre-sale begins on Thursday, June 18th at 10am local time.
One of the biggest global names in Punjabi music today, Aujla has become a cultural phenomenon, connecting with crowds around the world with his musical blend of Punjabi pop, hip-hop, and other sounds.
Born in India before moving to Canada at 17, Aujla got his start in music penning songs for other Punjabi artists, before striking out on his own with solo music.
Over the course of his career, Aujla has amassed over 3 billion views on YouTube alone, building a global fanbase in the millions in the process.
His most recent album, P-Pop Culture (2025), debuted at No. 1 on Spotify in both India and Pakistan, reached No. 4 in Canada, and topped Apple Music charts across all three countries.

P-Pop Culture became the highest debut for a Punjabi-language album in Canadian history, earning 12.4 million streams in its first week (surpassing Aujla’s own record set by previous album, 2023’s Making Memories).
In an Instagram note posted just before the release, Aujla reflected on the lengthy process of making P-Pop Culture, hailing it his most personal work to date.
“Day and night, 10–12 hours at a time, I poured every ounce of myself into this album,” he wrote. “I made something I could listen to not just as an artist, but as a fan of Punjabi pop culture.”
