Diljit Dosanjh Announces No More Shows in India Until Concert Infrastructure Improves

Diljit Dosanjh halts Indian concerts, demands better infrastructure, dedicates Chandigarh show to chess champion Gukesh

Popular Punjabi singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh has announced that he will not perform in India until the country improves its infrastructure for live concerts. The announcement was made during his concert in Chandigarh on December 14, leaving fans surprised and disappointed.

Diljit shared his concerns about the lack of proper facilities for live shows in India. Speaking in Punjabi during the concert, he said, “We do not have the infrastructure needed for live concerts here. Live shows generate significant revenue and create jobs for many people. Until proper concert infrastructure is developed, I will not do shows in India. That is for sure.”
