Diljit Dosanjh's Vancouver Concert Expected To Be The Biggest Punjabi Show Outside India

The BC Place performance will make history as first Punjabi stadium concert.

Diljit Dosanjh is set to make history next year with a just-announced performance at Vancouver’s BC Place on April 27, 2024 — the first Punjabi stadium show. With a capacity of 54,500, it's expected to be the largest ever Punjabi music performance outside of India.

The BC Place announcement caps off a banner year for Dosanjh. This summer, he became the first artist to perform a fully Punjabi set at Coachella and in September, he released his latest album, Ghost. Ghost blends smooth R&B, moody trap and laid-back pop across its 22 tracks. It's a hit in Canada especially, spending seven weeks on Billboard’s Canadian Albums chart, peaking at No. 5. His collaboration with Sia, "Hass Hass," also went to No. 37 on the Canadian Hot 100.
