The first Indian artist to perform in Punjabi at Coachella, Diljit Dosanjh took the Aura World Tour to Wembley Stadium, the tour’s only stadium date on an otherwise all-arena European run.
Diljit Dosanjh played Wembley Stadium on Saturday 12 September 2026, the Aura World Tour’s only stadium date on a European run otherwise played entirely in arenas.
Born in 1984 in a village in the Jalandhar district of Punjab, he learned to sing kirtan in the gurdwaras of Ludhiana, sent there at eleven to be schooled. Paid to sing at a birthday party at eighteen, he broke properly in 2011 with Lak 28 Kudi Da. Two careers have run in parallel since: eight Punjabi albums, and a screen career that began in Punjabi comedy with Jatt & Juliet, crossed into Hindi cinema with Udta Punjab, and reached the title role in Imtiaz Ali’s Amar Singh Chamkila.
He went global without translating: the first Indian artist to perform in Punjabi at Coachella, in 2023, then BC Place in Vancouver to more than 50,000 the year after, the largest show a Punjabi artist has given outside India. He has recorded with Sia, Saweetie and Anne-Marie, sat for the Met Gala and played American late-night television twice, all of it still in Punjabi.
London had him at The O2 arena for three nights in October 2024, on the Dil-Luminati tour. Aura, the 2025 album behind this tour, keeps the rest of the European run in arenas, Berlin to Manchester; Wembley is the one stadium night.
