Karan Aujla — P-Pop Culture World Tour (Melbourne)

Punjabi-Canadian superstar Karan Aujla brings his P-Pop Culture World Tour to Rod Laver Arena on Tuesday 18 August 2026, with the show starting at 8:00 PM. Melbourne gets two consecutive arena nights, 18 and 19 August.

P-Pop Culture is a fusion of Punjabi pop and hip-hop that celebrates Aujla's roots while pushing the music into new territory, balancing heartfelt melodies, sharp lyricism and genre-defying production. Born in India and moving to Canada at 17, Aujla first worked as a songwriter for other Punjabi artists before his 2018 breakthrough Don't Worry; his debut album BacTHAfuKUP reached number 6 on Spotify's Global Chart, and 2024 brought his first Canadian arena tour and the success of Making Memories. He is supported on this tour by Canadian producer and composer Ikwinder Singh, known as Ikky, who has amassed more than two billion streams, co-founded 4N Records and its 4N Nights series, and is creative director of 91 North Records.

Running times beyond the 8:00 PM start are listed as TBC, including gates, set times and the finish. Entry is via Gate 3 (Garden Square) and Gate 4 (Olympic Boulevard).
