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.

D4vd Pleads Not Guilty in Teen Murder Case, Switches to Public Defender

Platinum-selling singer D4vd pleaded not guilty Monday at his rearraignment on charges he sexually abused 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez before killing and dismembering her and concealing her remains in the front trunk of his Tesla. He also switched out his defense team, replacing high-profile lawyers Blair Berk and Marilyn Bednarski with two public defenders.

After the hearing, Bednarski said “there is no conflict,” and that D4vd, born David Anthony Burke, made the decision. She declined to say how he might qualify for a publicly funded defense considering his financial success as a recording artist.

Ella Langley's ''Choosin' Texas'' Gets the Drake Treatment

Drake is doing well on the charts this year, but it looks like he's going after 2026's biggest hit so far.

At an appearance at a Toronto club this weekend, Drake previewed what appears to be a remix of Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas,” giving the country hit the Drizzy treament. In the brief clip circulating online, Drake can be heard crooning over the reworked production, following the melody of Langley’s original hook, though lyrics are hard to make out. Neither artist has announced a release date for the remix.

Dolly Parton ‘Laid to Rest’ After Private Funeral, Family Says

Dolly Parton was laid to rest after a private funeral in Nashville, the country legend’s family said, days after her death at the age of 80.

The singer’s great-niece Lainey Parton — who referred to Dolly as “Aunt Granny” — posted on social media Saturday, “I wanted to wait until after my granny was laid to rest yesterday before I tried to put any of this into words From the time I was little, my granny always had a way of making me feel like I was enough. She never made my dreams feel too big or made me feel like I couldn’t do something. She believed in me before I even knew how to believe in myself.”
