Karan Aujla will headline the first-ever Rolling Loud India, joining Wiz Khalifa, Central Cee and Don Toliver at Loud Park in Navi Mumbai on Nov. 22–23.

The Punjabi-Canadian star is the only Punjabi act among the four headliners, extending a remarkable year that’s already seen him make history with P-Pop Culture. The album debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart in August with 12.4 million first-week streams — the biggest debut ever for a Punjabi-language album in Canadian history.


He won’t be the only Canadian-Punjabi artist on the lineup. Gurinder Gill and AR Paisley are set to perform on Nov. 22, underscoring the growing influence of the Punjabi wave across Canada and India. Gill’s set follows his comeback performance at Toronto’s NXNE in June, his first live show in two years. Meanwhile, NAV, the Toronto rapper and XO signee, makes his return to the Rolling Loud stage after performing at past editions.

The stacked bill also includes U.S. heavyweights such as Swae Lee, DaBaby and Denzel Curry, alongside an impressive lineup of Indian and Asian hip-hop talent including Arivu, Meba Ofilia, Wild Wild Women, Zefaan, Allyn, Sambata, Shreyas, Reble and Yung Raja.

Rolling Loud’s debut in India marks a landmark moment for the global festival brand — and a spotlight for Punjabi voices leading the charge in Canadian and international hip-hop.
