Punjabi music star Karan Aujla has dramatically expanded his upcoming P-POP CULTURE India Tour 2026. The artist added five major cities to the itinerary, bringing the total number of stops to twelve across the nation. He made this exciting announcement on his 29th birthday, January 19th, directly responding to immense fan demand and spectacular early ticket sales.
Tour Expansion Driven by Unprecedented Fan Support
The refreshed tour schedule will now run from late February through mid-April 2026. It will cover major metropolitan areas as well as emerging live music hubs. For the first time on such a scale for a Punjabi artist touring India, the plan now includes stadium dates. This move significantly elevates the production and reach of the concert series.
Team Innovation, the exclusive producer and promoter for the tour, confirmed all the new details. They also released the complete tour date list. The five new cities added are Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Jaipur, Lucknow, and Ludhiana. This decision came after months of persistent online petitions from fans and incredibly strong sales momentum.
Record-Breaking Ticket Sales Signal Huge Demand
Organizers reported a staggering sales figure. More than 100,000 tickets were sold within just the first hour when general sales opened in late November. This marks a historic first for any Punjabi artist. Promoters now anticipate that attendance could cross the 5,000,000 mark in every city on the tour. They believe this will fundamentally change the scale and expectations for live music touring in India.
Karan Aujla's Personal Connection to the Fans
Karan Aujla himself spoke about the motivation behind adding more cities. He emphasized his deep connection with his audience. "The love from India has always been unreal, and my fans have truly been my day ones," Aujla stated. "As I turn a year older, I wanted to keep them at the center of the celebration. Expanding the tour and visiting more cities is my way of celebrating this journey with everyone who’s been part of it."

He also highlighted the growing importance of Tier 2 cities. "With Tier 2 cities and cultural capitals embracing Punjabi pop, Lucknow, Jaipur, and Ludhiana have emerged as key live-music markets." Bijlani stressed the tour's broader impact, noting, "This tour is not just breaking records. It’s redefining the scale and future of Punjabi music touring in India."
Building on Past Success and Global Achievements
This expansive tour builds directly on the massive success of Aujla’s previous 'It Was All A Dream' India Tour in 2024. That tour attracted over 200,000 fans across ten shows and generated more than 15 million US dollars globally.
The announcement of the expanded P-POP CULTURE tour coincides with Aujla achieving several major global milestones. He recently became the first Punjabi performer ever to headline the prestigious Rolling Loud festival. His album 'P-POP CULTURE', released in August 2025, continues to drive his incredible momentum. The album debuted at number one on Spotify and Apple Music charts in both India and Canada. It also became the highest-debuting Punjabi-language album on the Canadian Billboard charts, cementing his international appeal.
