From Local To Global
After blowing the roof off venues across India, Canada, UK, and New Zealand, Aujla is finally making his UAE debut. With over 200,000 fans attending his India shows alone, and surprise celeb appearances turning every concert into an event, Abu Dhabi is next in line for a night to remember! This will be his first-ever solo stadium show in the region, and it’s expected to draw a crowd of over 30,000 fans. Basically, this is history in the making Karan, Punjabi music in the UAE and die-hard desi music fans (like you and me).
From Aujla, With Love
Talking about the upcoming show, Karan Aujla said: “I’m incredibly excited about performing in Abu Dhabi. The unwavering passion and support of my global fans have been my driving force from the very beginning. I can’t wait to share this unforgettable experience with everyone attending. Let’s make history for Punjabi music.”
And with the support of Live Nation Middle East, Team Innovation, the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi, and Miral, everything about this concert is set to be next-level! You’ll definitely catch me front-and-centre for this one! I don’t think I’m doing a very good job and hiding my excitement… Sorry, not sorry?
Not Your Average Concert
Don’t expect this to be your average concert, because it’s already set in motion to be an all-out sensory experience. From the moment the lights go down, expect to be pulled into a high-energy, visually stunning show that’s been carefully crafted to blow you away.
Karan Aujla will be performing a power-packed setlist featuring some of his biggest hits that fans know and love. Songs like ‘Tauba Tauba’, ‘Softly’, ‘Admiring You’, ‘Wavy’, and ‘Winning Speech’ are guaranteed to have the whole crowd singing every word. And just when you think it can’t get better, he’s set to premiere some of his brand-new tracks, including ‘Courtside’ and ‘Tell Me’, live on stage for the very first time in the region!
But it’s not just the music that will steal the spotlight. The show is going to feature next-level visuals and immersive sound design. Creating a truly cinematic atmosphere where every beat, lyric, and light cue hits perfectly.
Guest Star On Stage
Joining Aujla on stage will be his longtime collaborator and Toronto-based producer Ikky! Who’s known for helping bring Aujla’s signature sound to life. The 2 definitely have that natural chemistry that comes through in all their performance. And lucky for us, they’re bringing that same spark straight to Yas Island.
A Huge Year For Aujla – To Say The Least
2025 has been huge for Aujla so far, like where do I even begin? Let’s start with the fact that he was nominated for multiple JUNO Awards, had a crossover collab with OneRepublic, and dropped ‘Courtside’. Did I mention it hit Billboard’s Canadian Hot 100? The track’s video (filmed at the Miami Grand Prix, mightI add) also went viral worldwide within 24 hours and racked up over 23 million views! So yeah, safe to say the man has been on fire for a minute now, and his fans couldn’t be happier for him.
