A Concert to Remember
Diljit’s Lucknow concert, part of his Dil-Luminati Tour, took place at Ekana Stadium, marking a key stop in the India leg of his global tour.

Ticket Prices Leave Fans Divided

Meanwhile, black marketing of tickets on platforms like Facebook and Instagram has added to fans’ woes, with many being sold at inflated rates.
A fan shared on social media, “I managed to get a gold ticket for Rs 8,000, but it’s heartbreaking that many of my family members couldn’t join me due to the cost.” Others argued that tickets for an artist like Diljit, known for his grounded persona, should be more affordable.
