Global superstar Diljit Dosanjh is set to make history once again, bringing his highly anticipated AURA 2025 tour to New Zealand this November.

Following record-breaking runs across North America, Europe, the UK, and India, the music icon will perform at Auckland’s Spark Arena on Thursday, 13 November, solidifying his place as one of the most successful Indian artists in history.

Dosanjh last thrilled New Zealand audiences in 2023 with his Born To Shine tour, which sold more than 50,000 tickets and set new records for Indian performers in the region. AURA 2025 promises to be his biggest and most explosive tour yet, featuring next-level production, visuals, and a new set list packed with fan favourites and new anthems.

 

The tour will also see Dosanjh become the first Indian artist to headline two stadium shows in Australia, with additional performances added in Adelaide and Perth alongside Sydney and Melbourne.

Speaking about his return to Australia and New Zealand, Dosanjh said the energy fans brought last time was “unforgettable.” He added: “My fans’ immense love is the reason I’m coming back with stadium shows in Sydney and Melbourne, and we’ve added Adelaide and Perth so I can celebrate with even more of them. This tour is for the fans — but it’s also about celebrating Indian music on a global stage and sharing our culture with the world.”

Tickets go on sale to the general public on Wednesday, 3 September at 12:00pm local time through Ticketmaster. Fans can register for presale tickets now at https://arep.co/m/diljit-dosanjh-2025 with a 24-hour artist and promoter presale live on Tuesday, 2 September at 11am local time.

Known for his razor-sharp productions, genre-bending fusion of Punjabi tradition with global sounds, and electrifying stage presence, Dosanjh has redefined what it means to be a South Asian artist on the world stage. His chart-topping hits include G.O.A.T (328M+ views), Do You Know (294M+ views), and Proper Patola (416M+ views). He has also made appearances at Coachella, the Met Gala, the Billboard Summit, and a historic Apple Music Studios broadcast in Los Angeles.

In addition to his music career, Dosanjh has starred in some of the highest-grossing Punjabi films of all time and featured in the 2024 Netflix film Amar Singh Chamkila, which trended worldwide and earned critical acclaim.

With decades of creativity behind him, Dosanjh shows no signs of slowing down. AURA 2025 is set to be more than a concert tour — it will be a cultural milestone and a once-in-a-lifetime experience celebrating the global rise of Indian music and artistry.
