Diljit Dosanjh teased his plans for the rest of the year to his 22 million followers on Instagram earlier in July, the locales where he’d be performing for his Dil-Luminati Tour. He will perform in the UK in September, Europe in October, the UAE in November and India in October and November.
The announcement was made in his stories on the social media site but did not reveal dates or the venue where he would perform.
Dosanjh started his career by singing devotional songs at a local gurdwara. His first brush with fame came when he sang for T-series, the song Ishq Da Uda Ada.
Diljit Dosanjh has previously performed in Dubai, having headlined a special Holi show in March of 2018 at the JA Al Sahra Desert Resort Equestrian Centre. In 2016 he also played a show at Al Nasr Leisureland in Oud Metha.
His popularity has soared since these previous two shows so we can expect a much bigger venue which will most likely be in Abu Dhabi and will be sponsored by Saregama Ltd.
Here are some of his very popular songs to listen to while preparing for the concert:
- G.O.A.T- Released in 2020, this track became an instant anthem for fans of Punjabi music.
