'The issue was only with Chandigarh, not India':Diljit Dosanjh clears the air

Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh has cleared the air about his previous statement, clarifying that he will not perform in Chandigarh in the future due to poor venue infrastructure, not in all of India. His earlier comments had confused fans, who thought he would stop performing in the country altogether.

In a now-deleted post on X, he clarified, "The problem was with the venue in Chandigarh. So, until we get a proper venue there, I will not plan my next show in Chandigarh. That's it."

Earlier, Dosanjh put on an electrifying, houseful concert in Chandigarh on Saturday but surprised his fans when he revealed, “I will not do any shows in India in the future.”

He explained that his decision was made in light of poor infrastructure and lack of proper arrangements for concerts in the country. Dosanjh also urged the authorities to improve facilities, emphasizing the rapid growth of the concert industry.

“I want to tell the authorities that they do not have proper facilities for live shows here. This is a major income-generating industry, with many people relying on it. Please consider it,” he said, adding that the Chandigarh administration should focus on improving infrastructure rather than disturbing singers and artists.

He further stated, “I will not perform shows in India until the stage is placed in the center of the concert ground.”

“In the future, I will make sure the stage is in the middle so that fans are surrounding me. Until that happens, I will not perform in India. I urge the administration to prioritize improving the infrastructure.”

Diljit Dosanjh has also performed in numerous concerts outside India, where his fans flock in large numbers.

According to reports, Diljit earned 234 crore Indian rupees from concerts in North America between May and July this year.

 
Tickets for his concerts in the US have been sold for between 4.6 million Indian Rupees ($55,000) and 5.4 million Indian Rupees ($64,000).
 
Diljit’s concerts in Europe and the UK also sold out in seconds.
