Diljit Dosanjh’s Aura World Tour Comes to Chicago
The man who put Punjabi music on the global map is heading to the Chicagoland area. Diljit Dosanjh performs at Allstate Arena in Rosemont on Sunday, May 10, 2026, at 8:00 PM as part of his massive Aura World Tour 2026. Fresh off the success of his latest album Aura and the historic Dil-Luminati Tour that packed arenas and stadiums across the globe, Diljit returns to the Chicago market for what promises to be one of the most electrifying concert experiences of the year. With a career built on breaking barriers—from Coachella to The Tonight Show to the Met Gala—Diljit has transcended the Punjabi music scene to become one of the biggest live acts in the world, and the Chicago-area South Asian community and music fans of every background are in for an unforgettable Sunday night.
The Rise of a Cultural Icon
Born on January 6, 1984, in the village of Dosanjh Kalan in Punjab’s Jalandhar district, Diljit Dosanjh grew up singing devotional hymns (kirtan) at his local gurdwara before releasing his debut album in 2004. Two decades later, he stands as the most internationally successful Punjabi artist in history. His 2020 album G.O.A.T. made him the first Punjabi artist on a Times Square billboard, his 2023 set at Coachella made him the first Indian artist to perform at the festival entirely in Punjabi, and his 2024 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon introduced him to millions of American viewers. He is as much an actor—starring in Bollywood hits like Udta Punjab, Good Newwz, and the Netflix biopic Amar Singh Chamkila—as he is a fashion trailblazer who walked the 2025 Met Gala in Gurmukhi-inscribed Prabal Gurung couture. Collaborations with Sia (“Hass Hass”), Ed Sheeran, Anne-Marie (“Peaches”), and Jackson Wang have expanded his reach far beyond the Punjabi-speaking world.
What to Expect at the Show
Diljit’s concerts are legendary for their energy, community spirit, and spectacle. Expect a setlist spanning his greatest hits—“G.O.A.T.,” “Lover,” “Born to Shine,” “Proper Patola,” “Patiala Peg”—alongside new tracks from the Aura album like “Senorita,” “Charmer,” “Mahiya,” and the Sidhu Moosewala tribute “God Bless.” Fans can look forward to bhangra-infused choreography, dazzling production, and the warm, humble stage presence that has earned Diljit the love of millions. As he often says, “Main hoon Panjab” (“I am Punjab”)—and on May 10, Punjab comes to Chicago.

Diljit Dosanjh’s Musical Journey
Diljit Dosanjh’s discography tells the story of Punjabi music’s evolution from regional genre to global force. After early albums like Smile (2005) and Chocolate (2008) established him as a Punjabi star, his collaboration with Yo Yo Honey Singh on The Next Level (2009) became one of the most commercially successful Punjabi albums ever. His international breakthrough came with Con.Fi.Den.Tial (2018), followed by the genre-expanding G.O.A.T. (2020), which debuted at No. 1 in India and cracked Canada’s top 20. The Ghost album (2022) pushed further into pop and electronic territory, while the latest record, Aura (October 2025), weaves Punjabi folk traditions back into the mix with global production by longtime collaborator Raj Ranjodh. With over 20 million monthly Spotify listeners and music video view counts in the hundreds of millions, Diljit is the most-streamed Punjabi artist on the planet. Stream Aura on Spotify and Apple Music.

From Screen to Stage: Diljit the Actor
Beyond music, Diljit is one of the biggest stars of Punjabi cinema and a rising force in Bollywood. His Punjabi films Jatt & Juliet (2012) and its sequel are among the highest-grossing Punjabi films ever. Punjab 1984 (2014) won him a National Film Award, and his Bollywood debut in Udta Punjab (2016) earned a Filmfare Award for Best Debut. The 2019 comedy Good Newwz was a massive commercial hit, and his 2024 portrayal of legendary singer Amar Singh Chamkila in Imtiaz Ali’s Netflix biopic drew critical praise for his “exceptional” performance (The Week). Diljit also runs fashion labels Urban Pendu and WEARED 6, founded the Saanjh Foundation charity for underprivileged children, and adopted 10 Punjab villages for flood recovery in 2025.
