On August 17, 1965, the Beatles made their second appearance in Toronto, at Maple Leaf Gardens.


The group had played two shows a year earlier, with two half-hour sets featuring a dozen songs that started with a bang as the four moptops performed Twist and Shout.

The accompanying picture, with Paul McCartney, features L-R:  L-R: CHUM AM/FM VP & GM Allan Slaight, CHUM newsman JJ Richards, and DJ Dave Johnson.

Doug Thompson and Aireum, Canada's broadcast museum, supplied this shot that was likely taken by CHUM's main photographer in the '60s, Neil Newton.

Diljit Dosanjh Has Arrived: The Rise of a Global Star

The first time the Punjabi singer and actor came to Canada, he vowed to play at a stadium. With the Dil-Luminati Tour in 2024, he made it happen – setting a record in the process. As part of Billboard's Global No. 1s series, Dosanjh talks about his meteoric rise and his history-making year.

Throughout his history-making Dil-Luminati Tour, Diljit Dosanjh has a line that he’s repeated proudly on stage, “Punjabi Aa Gaye Oye” – or, “The Punjabis have arrived!”

The slogan has recognized not just the strides made by Diljit, but the doors his astounding success has opened for Punjabi music and culture.
