History is set to be made for Punjabi music in Canada.

Global superstar, Diljit Dosanjh is leading the charge with a monumental performance at BC Place. Dosanjh’s show is set to draw over 50,000 fans, making it the biggest Punjabi concert outside of India.

Following closely behind Dosanjh, is Canada’s very own Karan Aujla. As the first Punjabi Juno-Award winner, he is poised to sell out Rogers Centre and BC Place this summer. As these two powerhouses take centre stage, the meteoric rise of Punjabi music in the mainstream is growing at an unprecedented pace.

OMNI Television’s special program, “Melas to Mainstream: Punjabi Music’s Boom in Canada,” takes a deeper dive into how this genre is rooted in tradition and captivates the masses.

From only being able to enjoy Punjabi music within our homes or at local, intimate events, to now seeing Punjabi artists top international streaming charts and selling out Canada’s largest stadiums – Punjabi music has successfully cemented its space in the mainstream.
