Actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh made history by selling out the "largest ever Punjabi show outside India" during the North American leg of his ‘Dil-Luminati Tour’.
He started the tour on Saturday night at the BC Place stadium in Vancouver, Canada, performing for over 50,000 concert-goers.
Dosanjh entertained the audience with popular songs like "GOAT," “5 Taara,” “Lover,” “Kinni Kinni,” and “Ishq Mitaye,” the hit track from his recent film “Amar Singh Chamkila.”
Meanwhile, Dosanjh called a six-year-old fan on stage and performed Bhangra during the concert.
As reported by CBC News, Aanakh Bhullar said, “I like his dancing moves. I love him, he is the best singer.”
Dosanjh is also seen hugging and kissing the boy on the cheek as the song ends.
In a video, the general manager of BC Place is seen presenting a congratulatory plaque to Diljit Dosanjh, recognizing the "largest ever Punjabi show outside India." According to Canadian media reports, this event marked the first time a Punjabi music superstar headlined a concert at the Vancouver-based arena.
Dosanjh also shared a video on his Instagram Stories showing a massive billboard of his show with “Sold Out” written across it.
“HISTORY is made. Take a bow, @diljitdosanjh,” said BC Place in a post on X.
As part of his tour, Diljit Dosanjh will now travel to Calgary, Winnipeg, and Edmonton in Canada, before moving on to the United States. He will conclude the North American leg of his tour in Toronto on July 13.
Diljit Dosanjh performed his hit songs to a crowd of 54,000 fans in Vancouver. Tickets for the concert sold quickly, with front-row seats priced from $482.79 to $713.89 on the afternoon of the event. Some tickets were even more expensive, demonstrating the concert's popularity.
