Karan Aujla has announced the India leg of his upcoming P-POP CULTURE World Tour, following his recent appearance as the first Punjabi artist to headline Rolling Loud. The tour, to be promoted and produced by live entertainment company Team Innovation. It will take place across six Indian cities between February and March 2026.
The run will include shows in New Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Chandigarh, Indore and Bengaluru, with stadium-format performances scheduled for Delhi and Chandigarh. Additional dates and cities are expected to be added in a second phase.
The announcement comes on the back of Aujla’s It Was All A Dream India Tour in 2024, which drew over 200,000 attendees across ten shows in seven cities. That tour marked a significant step in expanding Punjabi pop’s footprint within large-scale Indian touring circuits.
The P-POP CULTURE World Tour is set to officially launch with Aujla’s first-ever headline show in Abu Dhabi on 29 November 2025 at Etihad Park, Yas Island. The one-night event is expected to attract more than 30,000 fans and will kick off a global itinerary covering the US, UK, Canada, Europe and Asia, alongside the multi-city Indian run.
Promoters project the Indian leg alone to draw more than 4,00,000 attendees, positioning it as one of the largest Punjabi pop tours mounted in the country to date. Titled Kingfisher Packaged Water Presents P-POP CULTURE India Tour, and co-powered by HSBC, the tour continues the partnership between Aujla and Team Innovation, who also managed his previous sold-out India run.
The production plans to focus on high-scale visual design and immersive staging, combining live performance with narrative elements rooted in Punjabi cultural expression. The setlist will feature material from Aujla’s 11-track album P-POP CULTURE, alongside key catalogue tracks such as ‘Admiring You’, ‘Winning Speech’, ‘Tauba Tauba’, ‘Wavy’ and ‘Softly’. Toronto-based producer Ikky, a longstanding collaborator, will join the tour, with rotating guest appearances expected across cities.
Speaking about the upcoming tour, Aujla highlighted the personal significance of returning to Indian audiences, describing the project as a reflection of his artistic evolution and his vision for Punjabi music on a global scale.
Mohit Bijlani, Founder of Team Innovation, said the upcoming tour aims to push both production and experiential benchmarks for Punjabi live touring in India, building on the momentum and scale achieved in 2024.
The tour follows the commercial success of It Was All A Dream World Tour, which reportedly generated over USD 15 million in revenue across multiple territories including Canada, the UK, North America, New Zealand and India.
Released in August 2025, P-POP CULTURE debuted at number one on Spotify and Apple Music in both India and Canada, with all tracks charting simultaneously. The album also recorded the highest debut for a Punjabi-language release on the Canadian Billboard charts, positioning the P-POP concept as a commercially viable extension of Punjabi pop blended with hip-hop influences.
