Singer Diljit Dosanjh announced during his Chandigarh concert on December 14 that he will not hold live performances in India until concert infrastructure improves.

Addressing the audience in Punjabi, Diljit explained, “Here we don’t have infrastructure for live shows. This is a source of big revenue; many people get work and are able to work here. Till this happens, I won’t do shows in India, that’s for sure.”

Diljit also shared his vision for better concert experiences, saying, “I’ll try next time that the stage is at the centre so that you can be around it.”

The concert, part of his Dil-Luminati tour, was dedicated to India’s newly-crowned International Chess Federation (FIDE) World Champion, Gukesh Dommaraju.

Praising Gukesh’s dedication, Diljit said, “Hard work from a young age to achieve dreams is inspiring.” He also referenced Allu Arjun’s famous dialogue from Pushpa, adding his own spin: “Saala nahi jhukega toh kya jija jhuk jayega.”

The Chandigarh Commission for Protection of Child Rights (CCPCR) had earlier issued an advisory cautioning against performing alcohol-themed songs like Patiala Peg and 5 Tara. Despite the challenges, Diljit will conclude his India tour in Guwahati on December 29.
