Punjabi music star Karan Aujla has expanded his P-POP CULTURE India Tour 2026, adding five new cities and taking the total count to 12 stops nationwide. The announcement landed on his 29th birthday, January 19, after huge fan demand and rapid ticket sales. The refreshed run stretches from late February through mid-April 2026, moving through big metros and fast-growing live music centers. Stadium dates are now part of the plan, pushing the tour to a new level for a Punjabi artist on the road in India.
Karan Aujla’s tour expansion driven by fan demand
Team Innovation, the sole producer and promoter of the run, confirmed the expanded tour details and shared the tour date. The addition of Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Jaipur, Lucknow, and Ludhiana followed months of online petitions and strong sales momentum. According to the organizers, more than 100,000 tickets were sold within the first hour of general sales when tickets went live in late November, a first for any Punjabi artist. Promoters now expect attendance to cross 5,000,000 people in every city, a figure they say will change the scale of Indian live touring.Aujla spoke about the decision to add cities and said, “The love from India has always been unreal, and my fans have truly been my day ones. As I turn a year older, I wanted to keep them at the center of the celebration. Expanding the tour and visiting more cities is my way of celebrating this journey with everyone who’s been part of it.”
