Punjabi singer-songwriter Karan Aujla has announced six India dates for 2026 as part of his P-Pop Culture World Tour, marking his first stadium performances in the country. The India leg is scheduled for February and March 2026.
The tour begins in New Delhi on Feb. 28, 2026, followed by Mumbai and Pune on March 4, Chandigarh on March 14, Indore on March 21, and Bengaluru on March 29. The P-Pop Culture World Tour will kick off in Abu Dhabi with Aujla’s headlining debut at Etihad Park on Nov. 29, 2025.
Aujla recently became the first Punjabi artist to headline Rolling Loud and released his 11-track album P-Pop Culture in August 2025. In a statement, Aujla said the India dates are significant to him, noting that performing in the country “always feels different.” He says, “This album represents who I am today- my growth, my culture and my vision for Punjabi music on the world stage. India has always given me unconditional love, and this tour is my way of giving that love back with the biggest live experience I’ve ever created.”
The P-Pop Culture India leg, promoted by Team Innovation, is positioning itself as one of the largest Punjabi pop tours staged in the country. The shows will feature material from Aujla’s recent album as well as earlier hits, with longtime collaborator and producer Ikky joining him on stage. Each city is also expected to feature a celebrity cameo, a signature part of Aujla’s live experience.
The upcoming run builds on Aujla’s strong touring presence in India. His 2024 It Was All A Dream India tour drew over 200,000 attendees across seven cities, marking one of the biggest Punjabi pop tours last year. Aujla also expanded his global visibility earlier in 2025 with a guest performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where he introduced Punjabi pop to a mainstream American late-night audience. He also recently collaborated with global pop star Ed Sheeran on the track “Symmetry,” a Punjabi-English fusion that further cemented his growing presence in the global pop landscape.
Tickets for the P-Pop Culture India Tour 2026 go on presale for HSBC credit card holders on Dec. 1, 2025, at 12 pm IST, with general sales opening on Dec. 3 at 2 pm IST on District.
