Diljit Dosanjh Announces Another Canadian Stadium Concert, at Toronto's Rogers Centre

Dosanjh had previously announced a record-breaking concert at Vancouver's BC Place, and now adds 12 more dates to his history-making Dil-Luminati tour, which will mark the first time a Punjabi musician has headlined at both Vancouver and Toronto stadiums.

Diljit Dosanjh is making more history with his latest tour announcement.

The artist has revealed where he'll be taking his Dil-Luminati tour this summer, adding twelve new dates following his previously announced stadium show in Vancouver. The tour promises to be monumental: beginning in Vancouver and ending in Toronto, it marks the first time a Punjabi artist has headlined Vancouver's BC Place and Toronto's Rogers Centre. The BC Place performance is also set to be the largest ever Punjabi music concert outside of India, at a sold-out capacity of 54,000.


That record-breaking show kicks off the tour on April 27, and from there Dosanjh plays three more Canadian cities — Winnipeg, Edmonton and Calgary — before heading south of the border to the United States for eight shows. Dosanjh then finishes the tour back in Canada at Rogers Centre on July 13.

The tour looks to be another milestone in the influential artist's career, and another boost for the rise of Punjabi music in Canada. In 2023, Dosanjh became the first Indian-born artist to play Coachella, opening up the doors for artists like Punjabi-Canadian musician AP Dhillon, who will perform at the major festival this year. Dosanjh was also the first Indian musician to sell out Vancouver's Rogers Arena and Toronto's Scotiabank Arena — no wonder he's levelling up to stadiums in those cities, this time around.

Pre-sale for the Dil-Luminati tour begins February 29. Tickets for the Vancouver date are already on-sale.

Sum 41 Scores Second Alternative Airplay No. 1 This Year With ‘Dopamine’

The band's second and third No. 1s have led over two decades after its first in 2001.

After earning its first No. 1 on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart in over two decades earlier this year, Sum 41 scores another as “Dopamine” rises a spot to No. 1 on the Nov. 30-dated survey.

The song follows the two-week Alternative Airplay command for “Landmines” in March. The latter led 22 years, five months and three weeks after Sum 41’s first No. 1, “Fat Lip,” in August 2001, rewriting the record for the longest break between rulers for an act in the chart’s 36-year history. It shattered the previous best test of patience, held by The Killers, who waited 13 years and six months between the reigns of “When You Were Young” in 2006 and “Caution” in 2020.
