Global Punjabi Superstar Announces Monumental India Return
Fresh from making history as the first Punjabi artist to headline Rolling Loud, international music phenomenon Karan Aujla has revealed plans for his most ambitious India tour yet. The P-POP CULTURE World Tour will sweep across the nation in 2026, presented by leading live events company Team Innovation.
Six-City Stadium Spectacle
The massive India tour will cover six major metropolitan centers: Bengaluru, Indore, Pune, Mumbai, New Delhi and Chandigarh. This landmark tour will mark Aujla's debut stadium performances in both New Delhi and Chandigarh, signaling his growing stature in the Indian music landscape.
This announcement comes on the heels of his phenomenally successful 2024 It Was All A Dream India Tour, which attracted over 200,000 fans across seven cities and completely sold out ten shows. That tour received widespread acclaim for its massive scale, electric energy, and surprise appearances by celebrity guests.
Global Journey Begins in Abu Dhabi
Before arriving in India, Aujla will achieve another career milestone with his first-ever headline performance in Abu Dhabi on November 29, 2025 at Etihad Park, Yas Island. This concert is expected to draw more than 30,000 fans and will officially launch the P-POP CULTURE World Tour, which will then travel across the United States, Europe, Asia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and finally India.
The Indian edition alone is projected to attract over 400,000 fans
Immersive Musical Experience Promised
The tour has been meticulously designed to deliver a fully immersive experience, combining cutting-edge visuals, state-of-the-art production, and rich cultural storytelling. Fans can anticipate a dynamic setlist featuring hits from his globally celebrated 11-track album P-POP CULTURE, including popular tracks like P Pop Culture, I Really Do..., MF Gabhru!, Boyfriend, and For A Reason.
The concerts will also showcase his chart-topping classic numbers such as Admiring You, Winning Speech, Tauba Tauba, Wavy, and Softly. Aujla will be accompanied by his longtime collaborator and Toronto-based producer Ikky, along with high-energy celebrity guest appearances that have become a signature element of his live performances.
Artist and Organizer Perspectives
Karan Aujla expressed his excitement about returning to India, stating: "India has some of the most powerful and passionate fans in the world, and they remind me of that every time I step on stage. No matter where I perform globally, the love I receive in India is unmatched. Every milestone feels bigger when I get to celebrate it at home, with my people."
He added: "Returning with the P-POP CULTURE World Tour is something I've been looking forward to for a long time. This album reflects my growth, my culture, and my vision for Punjabi music on the world stage. India has always supported me unconditionally, and this tour is my way of giving that love back—with the biggest live experience I've ever created."
Mohit Bijlani, Founder of Team Innovation, shared his enthusiasm: "Witnessing Karan Aujla's rise into a global Punjabi music icon has been extraordinary. After the massive success of his 2024 tour, we knew the next step had to be even larger in vision and impact. The P-POP CULTURE India Tour is designed to set new benchmarks for Punjabi music and the live entertainment landscape in India."
Record-Breaking Momentum Continues
This tour represents a transformative milestone in Aujla's artistic evolution. His 2024 It Was All A Dream World Tour shattered ticketing records across Canada, the UK, North America, New Zealand, and India, generating more than USD $15 million in revenue. The P-POP CULTURE World Tour builds on that remarkable momentum, expanding his global influence across multiple platforms and continents.
Released in August 2025, P-POP CULTURE debuted at number one on Spotify and Apple Music charts in both India and Canada, with all 11 tracks charting simultaneously. The album also became the highest-debuting Punjabi-language album on the Canadian Billboard Charts. This bold fusion of Punjabi pop and hip-hop stands as both a tribute to Aujla's cultural roots and a rallying cry for a new global movement—P-POP—celebrating identity, innovation, and cultural pride.
