Karan Aujla has officially revealed the India schedule for his P-POP CULTURE World Tour,one of the biggest live music announcements for the coming year. The Punjabi global superstar, who recently made history as the first Punjabi artist to headline Rolling Loud, will return to India in early 2026 for a six-city run presented by Team Innovation.
The tour will travel through Bengaluru, Indore, Pune, Mumbai, New Delhi, and Chandigarh, with New Delhi and Chandigarh set to host Aujla’s first-ever stadium shows in India. The announcement follows the massive success of his It Was All A Dream India Tour in 2024, which drew more than 2,00,000 fans across seven cities and ten shows.
Before arriving in India, Aujla will headline his first major Abu Dhabi show on 29 November 2025 at Etihad Park, Yas Island. Expected to attract more than 30,000 fans, the Abu Dhabi show will serve as the global kickoff to the P-POP CULTURE World Tour, which will also make stops across the U.S., Europe, Asia, Canada, and the U.K.
The 2026 India leg, scheduled between February and March, is projected to draw over 4,00,000 attendees, setting the stage for what could become the largest Punjabi pop tour ever staged in the country. Team Innovation,also behind Aujla’s sold-out 2024 tour and his UAE debut,will lead promotion and execution. Kingfisher Packaged Water is the title partner, with HSBC as co-powering sponsor.
Designed as a high-impact, immersive concert experience, the P-POP CULTURE Tour will integrate cutting-edge visual technology and large-format production. Fans can expect an expansive setlist featuring tracks from Aujla’s chart-topping album P-POP CULTURE,including ‘P Pop Culture,’ ‘I Really Do…,’ ‘MF Gabhru!,’ ‘Boyfriend,’ and ‘For A Reason’,alongside fan favourites like ‘Admiring You,’ ‘Winning Speech,’ ‘Tauba Tauba,’ ‘Wavy,’ and ‘Softly.’ Toronto-based producer Ikky will join Aujla on stage, along with celebrity appearances that have become a highlight of his live shows.
Speaking about the tour, Aujla said,“India has some of the most powerful and passionate fans in the world. No matter where I perform globally, the energy and love I receive in India is unmatched. Returning with the P-POP CULTURE World Tour is something I’ve been excited about for a long time. This album represents my growth, my culture, and my vision for Punjabi music on the world stage.”
Mohit Bijlani, Founder of Team Innovation, added,“Karan’s rise as a global Punjabi music icon has been exceptional. After the success of the 2024 tour, we knew the next chapter had to be even bigger. The P-POP CULTURE India Tour is set to create new benchmarks for live entertainment in the country.”
Aujla’s 2024 It Was All A Dream World Tour shattered records across Canada, the U.K., North America, New Zealand, and India, setting the momentum for his global expansion. Released in August 2025, P-POP CULTURE debuted at No. 1 on Spotify and Apple Music in India and Canada, with all 11 tracks charting simultaneously. It also became the highest-debuting Punjabi-language album on the Canadian Billboard Charts.
