The first Indian artist ever to perform at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, Diljit Dosanjh says, “The Born to Shine World tour has been an incredible experience for me. It has been 10 long years since I performed in Australia & New Zealand and it’s the perfect time to meet and entertain my fans there. It takes a lot to pull off shows like these and I really look forward perform for my fans down under.”
Sonali Singh, owner of Event company Ripple Effect Studio who also manages Diljit Dosanjh says, “We are immensely proud of the fact that Diljit has a great fanbase not only In India but also Internationally. The kind of response we received in US, Canada & UK has been beyond expectations. We have been getting a lot of messages from fans in Australia & New Zealand requesting Diljit to perform here. It’s time for us to listen to them and we are here, roaring to perform and enthrall our fans.”

From entertaining fans all over India for many years now, through to selling out shows in the UK, to becoming the first ever Punjabi artist to perform at Coachella Festival in 2023, there’s no doubt that his Australian and Kiwi fans are in for a very special evening!”
