In an electrifying development for fans of Bollywood and Punjabi music alike, renowned global Punjabi artist Karan Aujla has officially revealed his highly anticipated P-POP CULTURE World Tour schedule for India in 2026. This announcement marks a significant milestone not only for Aujla’s career but also for the landscape of live music in India, promising an immersive, large-scale experience that blends cutting-edge technology, cultural pride, and chart-topping hits.
Breaking New Ground: Karan Aujla’s Historic Return to India
Karan Aujla, whose name has become synonymous with contemporary Punjabi music, continues to redefine the genre’s global reach. Recently making history as the first Punjabi artist to headline the renowned Rolling Loud festival—an event traditionally dominated by international hip-hop and rap acts—Aujla’s rise exemplifies the increasing influence of Punjabi music on the world stage.
His upcoming India tour, scheduled for February and March 2026, is poised to be one of the most ambitious Punjabi music tours ever held in the country. Presented by Team Innovation, a leading live entertainment company, the tour will span six major cities: Bengaluru, Indore, Pune, Mumbai, New Delhi, and Chandigarh. Notably, Mumbai and Delhi will host Aujla’s first-ever stadium performances in India, reflecting the immense popularity he commands and the scale of this tour.
From Past Triumphs to Future Horizons
This India leg follows the phenomenal success of Aujla’s It Was All A Dream tour in 2024, which drew over 200,000 fans across seven cities and ten shows. The energy and enthusiasm of those concerts set a new benchmark for Punjabi live performances, and the upcoming P-POP CULTURE tour aims to surpass those milestones. Industry insiders project that the 2026 tour could attract upwards of 400,000 fans, making it potentially the largest Punjabi pop tour ever in India.
Global Launch and Expansion
Before kicking off his Indian journey, Karan Aujla will headline a major debut concert in Abu Dhabi on 29 November 2025 at Etihad Park, Yas Island. With an expected attendance of over 30,000, this event will serve as the official global launchpad for the P-POP CULTURE World Tour. The tour will then take a global leap, traveling through the United States, Europe, Asia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, demonstrating Aujla’s expanding international influence.
A Visual and Musical Spectacle
The P-POP CULTURE tour is designed to be a fully immersive experience, integrating advanced visual technology, elaborate stage setups, and high-energy performances. Fans can anticipate a diverse setlist featuring tracks from Aujla’s chart-topping album P-POP CULTURE, which debuted at number one on Spotify and Apple Music in India and Canada upon release in August 2025. The album’s success marked a historic moment for Punjabi music, with all 11 tracks charting simultaneously and setting records as the highest-debuting Punjabi album on the Billboard Canadian Charts.
Highlights from the album include hits like ‘P Pop Culture,’ ‘I Really Do…,’ ‘MF Gabhru!,’ ‘Boyfriend,’ and ‘For A Reason,’ alongside fan favorites such as ‘Admiring You,’ ‘Winning Speech,’ ‘Tauba Tauba,’ ‘Wavy,’ and ‘Softly.’ Live performances of these tracks, combined with spectacular visual effects, are expected to captivate audiences and elevate the concert experience to new heights.
Collaborations and Special Appearances
Adding to the excitement, Toronto-based music producer Ikky will join Aujla on stage, bringing his signature sound to the live shows. Moreover, the tour will feature celebrity appearances that have become a hallmark of Aujla’s concerts, making each event unique and memorable for fans.
