Diljit Dosanjh has arrived in Indore. The Punjabi singer and actor reached the city on Friday after a 34-hour journey, and he will perform tonight as part of his Aura India Tour. The concert is the second stop of the tour’s India leg, which opened in Delhi on October 30.
Diljit shared the news himself on Instagram. Posting a story on Friday, he wrote that the long journey was finally over and that he would meet fans on Sunday evening. In another clip, filmed on a flight, he laughed off the doubts around the show. “Did you think I wouldn’t show up? I’m here,” he said.
A 34-hour journey to Indore
The journey itself became part of the story. Diljit posted that he had travelled for 34 hours before reaching Indore, and his message ended with “Jai Shri Mahakal”, a nod to the Mahakaleshwar temple in nearby Ujjain. Fans in Indore had been waiting for confirmation for days, after rumours that the show might be cancelled.
Those rumours had picked up earlier in the week amid reports of threats linked to the concert and questions over security at the venue. On November 10, Diljit went live on Instagram and settled it in his own style. “15 tareekh ko Indore aa rahe hain, 101 percent aa rahe hain,” he said, promising fans he would be there and that the first thing he would do is eat Indore’s famous poha.
He kept that promise in spirit even before landing. Days before the show, he shared old photographs from Chhappan Dukan, Indore’s well known food street, and wrote that he would come to the city and eat poha first. The post was widely shared by fans in Madhya Pradesh.
Tight security, 500-plus police on duty
Security around tonight’s concert is heavy. More than 500 police personnel have been deployed for the show, and the Indore police have held meetings with the organisers to go over safety arrangements. Entry will be allowed only after checking and scanning, and traffic restrictions will be in place around the venue from 4 pm until midnight.
The final permission for the event was linked to a last inspection of the venue, with police checking whether all prescribed safety conditions were met. BookMyShow, the event organiser, had applied for permission to hold the concert, and senior officers including DCP Aman Rathore have been involved in the security planning.
The Delhi show that opened the tour on October 30 also went ahead under heavy security after similar concerns.
That concert at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium drew a full house, with Diljit performing hits such as G.O.A.T., Ikk Kudi, Lalkara, Naina and Hass Hass.
Four songs off the setlist
The Indore concert has also drawn attention for a different reason. Authorities have directed the organisers to ensure that four songs are not performed during the show. The tracks named in reports are Patiala Peg, 5 Taara Theke, Jeb Vicho Feem and Jatt Fire Karda.
The restriction is separate from the cancellation rumours Diljit addressed in his Instagram live session. Fans will still get the big hits from his recent tours, but the four named songs will not be part of tonight’s set.
What the Aura India Tour looks like next
After Indore, the Aura India Tour moves to Ahmedabad on November 21, followed by Mumbai on November 27 and Bengaluru on November 29. Shows in Lucknow, Chandigarh and Kolkata are scheduled for December. The tour has become one of the biggest live music events in India this year, with each city drawing huge crowds.
For Indore, tonight is the payoff after a week of uncertainty. The singer is in the city, the stage is set, and thousands of fans are expected to turn up for a night of Punjabi music. If his Instagram posts are anything to go by, the evening will begin, as promised, with a plate of poha.
