Karan Aujla has announced a Canadian arena run for his P-Pop Culture tour, set to land in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary and Toronto in May 2026.

Produced by Live Nation, the four-date tour will open on May 2 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, followed by Rogers Place in Edmonton on May 5, Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary on May 6, and conclude at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto on May 9. The announcement positions Aujla firmly within Canada’s top-tier touring circuit, with stops exclusively in large-capacity venues.


The Canadian dates follow the release of P-Pop Culture, an album that delivered a record-breaking debut and reinforced Aujla’s place at the forefront of Punjabi pop’s global rise.

Its opening-week performance marked the biggest debut ever for a Punjabi-language album in Canada, reflecting a listener base that has translated from streaming dominance to consistent arena demand.

Before bringing the tour to Canada, Aujla is set to take P-Pop Culture across India, where he will perform a run of large-scale shows as part of the album’s global rollout.

Rather than expanding cautiously, Aujla’s touring strategy mirrors that of mainstream pop acts—returning to established arena markets where audience scale has already been proven. His previous Canadian arena appearances helped recalibrate expectations around who fills these rooms, and the decision to mount a full arena run underscores the genre’s growing permanence within the country’s live music economy.

The timing of the announcement also highlights a broader moment for Punjabi music in North America. Earlier today, Diljit Dosanjh revealed his own Canadian tour plans, signalling an industry-wide shift in how Punjabi artists are being programmed, marketed and scaled across major venues.

Tickets for the P-Pop Culture tour will be available through an artist presale beginning February 3 at 10 a.m., with additional presales running throughout the week. General onsale begins February 6 at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster and Live Nation.

Bad Bunny
is no stranger to making history, and last night, he conquered another first when he became the first artist to perform only in Spanish at the Super Bowl halftime show. Up until the big day, the only hint we had about potential themes for the show came from the Apple Music trailer that showed Bad Bunny dancing to his hit song “Baile Inolvidable” with a diverse cast of dancers. The vibe was unity and fun. But Bad Bunny always finds a way to get many complex messages into his performances, just as he does with his songs.

The performance had been even more anticipated because of the conservative backlash he received (to the point of Turning Point USA organizing an alternative halftime show). Additionally, because of Bad Bunny’s highly political Grammy acceptance speeches (he started one by declaring, “ICE out”), many people couldn’t wait to see what Bad Bunny might say or do during his 13-minute halftime set.

From Lenny Kravitz to the Spice Girls, Nineties Music Takes Over Olympic Figure Skating Ice Dance Event

It turns out Ricky Martin’s appearance during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Sunday night wasn’t the last time viewers would hear from the singer this week: the Latin superstar was all over the speakers at the Winter Olympics figure skating competition Monday, as the world’s best ice dancers took to the arena for the rhythm dance event.

Martin’s 1995 hit, “Maria” was used by no less than three ice dance teams for the rhythm dance (formerly known as the “short dance” or short program), with couples from Finland, Sweden, and Spain all choosing the upbeat hit for their performances. While the specific song choice of “Maria” was a coincidence, the genre of the track was not, as ice dancers were assigned a “1990s” theme for the rhythm dance this season.

Taylor Swift Goes Back to the Nineties in Star-Studded ‘Opalite’ Video

Taylor Swift isn’t through with her show girl era just yet. The pop star just released the music video for her next The Life of a Showgirl single, “Opalite” — and it’s full of lightning strike twists.

In the funny, unexpected visual, Taylor jumps back in time to the Nineties — you know, the era of the mall before the internet, full of infomercials and at-home workout videos. She plays a lonesome cat lady, who is hilariously dating a rock, but falls for “the revolutionary fix for your problems” that is Opalite. In an infomercial, the product promises that it “magically transforms your problems into your paradise using our state of the art chemical potion. It works on friendships, couples, pets and co-workers.”
