Bollywood actor and Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh is set to make history as the first Indian artist to headline a stadium concert in Sydney, with his AURA 2025 tour bringing him to CommBank Stadium on 26 October.
The global sensation, who became the first Indian-born artist to perform at Coachella in 2023, will light up Parramatta with a one-night-only performance expected to draw thousands of fans from across Australia.
City of Parramatta Lord Mayor Martin Zaiter said the event was a major win for the community. “City of Parramatta has worked hard to bring this global megastar to our city,” he said.
“The performance at CommBank Stadium by Diljit puts us on the international stage and adds to one of the biggest weekends the City has ever seen, with our largest street festival, Parramatta Lanes, happening at the same time.”
Zaiter said the partnership with Venues NSW would showcase Parramatta’s growing 24-hour economy and strengthen its billion-dollar events industry.
Known for hits such as G.O.A.T (236M views), Lover (123M) and Proper Patola (364M), Dosanjh has captivated audiences worldwide from Bollywood to Billboard, and now Sydney is next in line.
NSW Minister for Sport Steve Kamper said the concert would be the perfect way to mark Diwali.
“We’re excited to have secured Diljit Dosanjh for his first ever stadium show in Sydney at CommBank Stadium this October.”
Member for Parramatta Donna Davis added that hosting Dosanjh highlights the deep cultural connection between Australia and India.
“This is more than just a concert – it’s a celebration of culture, community, and the deep ties between Australia and India.”
The Sydney show is part of Dosanjh’s six-stop Australian tour and is expected to be a sell-out.
