Delhi Police has reportedly refused permission for Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh’s scheduled concert at Jawaharlal Nehru (JLN) Stadium in New Delhi on October 30, 2026. According to police sources, the decision was taken due to security concerns, putting the planned Delhi leg of his highly anticipated Aura Tour 2026 in question.
The development comes as Dosanjh prepares to take his live performances to several Indian cities, bringing his popular Punjabi music and international concert production to stadium audiences.
Aura Tour 2026: Cities and Concert Schedule
The Aura Tour 2026 is scheduled to begin in Delhi on October 30 before moving to Indore, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Lucknow, Chandigarh and Kolkata.
The tour aims to bring the scale and energy of Dosanjh’s international performances to audiences across India. The concerts combine his music with large-scale stage production, reflecting the style that has become a defining feature of his live shows.
On September 24, Dosanjh also spoke about his upcoming performance at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium, scheduled for November 21.

He said, “Duniya da sabton vadda stadium India de vich hai te gore group ne ohnu sell out kitta respect for them. India de vich sabton vadda stadium hove te Panjabi uthe na aun eh taan phir ho nahi sakda.”
In English, he said that the world’s largest stadium is in India and acknowledged the international group that had sold it out. He added that it would not make sense for Punjabi artists to stay away from such a prominent venue.
