Diljit Dosanjh Meets Students of His Toronto Metropolitan Course Backstage at Rogers Centre

Nearly 50,000 fans packed Toronto’s Rogers Centre on Sunday night as Diljit Dosanjh returned to the stadium for another massive stop on his ongoing Aura World Tour, further cementing his place as one of the biggest global touring artists in Punjabi music.

The sold-out concert marked Dosanjh’s second time headlining Rogers Centre and quickly became one of the most talked-about live music moments of the weekend.

The concert was attended by the students of the Toronto Metropolitan University course dedicated to the singer in partnership with Billboard Canada. The students met with the Punjabi icon backstage before he took the stage. Dosanjh later performed an extended version of "Ranjha," the song first premiered inside their classroom.

With videos flooding social media showing stadium-wide singalongs, Punjabi flags across the venue and fans filling every section of the open-roofed venue.

Midway through the show, Dosanjh delivered the night’s biggest moment, announcing that he will headline London’s Wembley Stadium on Sept. 12, 2026. The reveal ended weeks of online speculation surrounding a “big surprise” the singer had been teasing ahead of the concert. With the announcement, Dosanjh is set to become the first Punjabi artist to headline the iconic 90,000 capacity venue where Queen and Michael Jackson have famously played.

The Toronto stop marked another major milestone in Dosanjh’s rapid global rise over the last few years through appearances at Coachella, the Met Gala and multiple international arena and stadium tours. But beyond the scale of the Rogers Centre performance itself, fans also closely followed the singer’s time around Toronto throughout the weekend.

Ahead of the concert, Dosanjh shared clips on Instagram of himself biking through downtown Toronto, casually riding through the city before stepping onto one of Canada’s biggest stages hours later.

Videos shared on Team Diljit’s social pages also showed the singer admiring the CN Tower and reacting to the landmark in Punjabi, while another Instagram Story gave fans a glimpse of him enjoying tiramisu during downtime between tour commitments.
