Karan Aujla just got a big Canadian accolade, and he's following it up with a big Canadian tour.

After performing and winning the Fan Choice award at the Junos last month, the India-born, B.C.-based star has now announced three arena concerts. "If you are dreaming, make sure you dream big," the artist said at the award ceremony, and he's showing it with his live performance plans.


Aujla's It Was All A Dream tour will kick off on August 10, 2024 in Toronto at Scotiabank Arena. He'll also play August 15 at Rogers Place in Edmonton and August 17 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver.

Those are all major venues for his official first tour of Canada, but it's not a surprise if you've been following the Billboard Canada cover star's career over the past year.

Making Memories, his album with producer Ikky, was the highest-charting Punjabi album debut in the history of the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, and it's since had over 1 billion streams. He followed it with Street Dreams, a collaborative project with Indian rapper DIVINE that hit No. 22 on the albums chart. Aujla has big numbers in Canada and around the world, with two of his videos appearing on YouTube Canada's most popular music videos of 2023 list.

It Was All A Dream is billed as a world tour, and Live Nation promises more dates to be announced for 2024 and 2025. But the arena level shows in Canada show the continued rise of the Punjabi Wave.

Tickets go on presale starting April 10 and are on sale to the general public on Friday, April 12 at 10 am EDT at ticketmaster.ca.

‘Golden’ From ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Wins Best Original Song at 2026 Oscars, But Speech Is Cut Short

EJAE spoke on behalf of the seven-person team behind the song, but when one of her co-writers started speaking, their acceptance speech was played off.

“Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters took home the prize for best original song at Sunday’s 2026 Oscars following a triumphant performance from the singing voices of HUNTR/X, but EJAE and company’s heartfelt speech ended up being cut short when one of her collaborators was prematurely played off.

By winning best original song at the 98th Oscars, “Golden” set several records, becoming the first K-pop song to win an Oscar; the first song with more than four writers to win an Oscar; and the first best song winner where all of the writers won’t receive an individual trophy.
