New Delhi: ‘Dream big’ was Diljit Dosanjh‘s message for fans, both young and old, who were among those lucky enough to get the tickets to see the popular Punjabi star live at the second show of his ‘Dil-Luminati India Tour‘ in New Delhi on Sunday.
The singer regaled an approximately 40,000-strong crowd at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in a two-hour set, which saw his perform songs, including ‘5 Taara’, ‘Do You Know’, ‘GOAT’, ‘Proper Patola’, ‘Hass Hass’, ‘Lemonade’, ‘Kinni Kinni’, ‘Naina’, ‘Ikk Kudi’, ‘Clash’, ‘Lover’, ‘Khutti’, and ‘Patiala Peg’.
The highly-anticipated concert, his second consecutive one in the national capital, began at 7.44 pm with the singer appearing on the stage in a white dhoti-kurta, turban and Aviator shades. He started the show with the chartbuster ‘Born to Shine’.
“I want you all to dream big. Please dream as big as possible. We were born to fulfil our dreams. Dream big guys. If I can do it, you can too. I haven’t studied much but if I can make people speak in Punjabi then you can do anything,” Diljit said to the packed stadium after his first act for the day ended.
The ‘Dil-Luminati India Tour’ is produced by Saregama Live and Ripple Effect Studio, with Zomato Live as ticketing partner. During the performance of one of his songs titled “GOAT”, Diljit called upon the stage a family dressed like him.
“Aa jao bachchon,” the singer said. “We wanted to do a third show in Delhi but we didn’t get permission,” he later added, thanking the Delhi Police for the security arrangements. The 40-year-old also shared a message of harmony with fans. “Be it white, Black, Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian, we are all the same. Wherever I go, I want to carry this teaching with me,” he said.
Fans, ranging from school-going children to those in their 70s, came from as far as Dwarka and Gurugram to witness the magic of Diljit unfold on stage. When the second half began a little after 9 pm, the singer turned up on the stage in an all-black western outfit. Vikram Mehra, Managing Director of Saregama India Ltd, said working with Diljit for the past three years, from international shows to this grand national tour, has been an extraordinary experience.
