ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)
If you're a fan of Punjabi music, this is the biggest announcement of the year.
Global superstar Karan Aujla is coming to Abu Dhabi for the first time with his record-breaking It Was All A Dream world tour.
It has been announced that the chart-topping Canadian rapper will be performing at Etihad Park, Yas Island, on Saturday, November 29, 2025.
Fresh off his phenomenal India tour, which drew over 200,000 fans, this will be Aujla's first stadium show in the region, and it's expected to attract more than 30,000 fans.
Presented by Live Nation Middle East and Team Innovation, in partnership with the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi and Miral, this concert marks a major milestone in Aujla's career - and for Punjabi music in the UAE.
The playlist will be packed with fan favourites such as "Admiring You" to "Softly", and new releases like "Courtside" and "Tell Me" (his collab with OneRepublic).
He will be joined on stage by long-time collaborator Ikky, with a full-scale production featuring immersive visuals and soundscapes.
"I can't wait to share this experience with the UAE," said the 28-year-old star. "Let's make history for Punjabi music."
2025 has already been a landmark year for Aujla - born Jaskaran Singh Aujla in Punjab, India - with multiple JUNO Award nominations and massive international collaborations.
His video for "Courtside", filmed at the Miami Grand Prix, hit 23 million views and became the most-watched video on YouTube within 24 hours of release.
Tickets go on sale on Friday, July 11 at 12pm.
