Delhi Police denied permission for Diljit Dosanjh’s October 30, 2026, concert at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, according to ETV Bharat and Aryan Age.

The reasons reported are security concerns, threat-related inputs and the festive season, and the reports differ on whether the show is postponed.

No revised date or venue, ticket refund information or response from the singer or BookMyShow was reported.

The police reasons are as stated in the reports.

ETV Bharat says it is unclear whether the organisers will seek an alternative arrangement for Delhi.

The reports reviewed carried no response from Diljit Dosanjh or from BookMyShow.

The reports did not give ticket or refund information for the Delhi show.

The reported schedule of the Aura India Tour includes Indore, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Lucknow, Chandigarh and Kolkata, according to ETV Bharat.

Diljit Dosanjh spoke on September 24 about a planned performance at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on November 21, according to the same report.

The effect of the denial on the wider tour schedule has not been announced, according to ETV Bharat.

Large public events in Delhi need permissions from the police and other agencies, including for crowd management, traffic and security arrangements.

A no-objection certificate from the police is a clearance that is usually issued with conditions on timing, security and crowd management.

The police reasons are those stated in the reports and no formal written order was quoted in full in the articles reviewed.

Ticket holders should wait for official communication from the organisers and the ticketing platform.
