Diljit Dosanjh
The Punjabi star will return to Vancouver's BC Place and Toronto's Rogers Centre in April and May, where he first made history two years ago. He will also go to Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg plus U.S. dates at iconic venues like Madison Square Garden and Crypto.com Arena.
Diljit Dosanjh has announced his Aura North America Tour, confirming a run of large-scale shows across Canada and the United States this spring.
The tour will kick off in Vancouver on April 23 with a stadium show at BC Place Stadium. That's where Diljit first made history in 2024 with the biggest Punjabi concert ever outside India. Now, he's doing it again.
From there, Dosanjh will travel across Western and Central Canada, performing in Calgary on April 30 at Scotiabank Saddledome, Edmonton on May 2 at Rogers Place and Winnipeg on May 7 at Canada Life Centre.
The Canadian leg will conclude in Toronto on May 31, where Dosanjh is set to perform at Rogers Centre, another history-making venue for the Punjabi star.
Alongside the Canada dates, the Aura tour will also make stops in Orlando, Dallas, New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
The announcement follows a landmark few years for the Punjabi superstar, whose recent tours and festival appearances have drawn massive crowds and positioned him as one of the most globally visible Punjabi live performers today. His stadium-scale shows have been notable for their production value, cultural references and ability to pull multi-generational audiences.
Ticketing details for the Aura North America Tour have not yet been released. Further information is expected to be announced in the coming days.
The announcement comes amid a unique academic milestone for Dosanjh: Toronto Metropolitan University is currently running the first-ever university course dedicated to studying his career and cultural impact, taught by Billboard Canada National Editor Richard Trapunski.
The course is exploring his influence on music, identity, diasporic communities, creative industries and global pop culture, marking the first such academic offering in Canada focused on a Punjabi artist. The curriculum was unveiled last year at NXNE in Toronto and reflects Dosanjh’s global cultural impact.
