Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh will be performing in Ludhiana on the New Year’s eve, December 31.

Announcing the “grand finale” of his ongoing Dil-luminati tour via his official Facebook page, Dosanjh uploaded a story saying “Dil-Luminati Tour’s Finale Show in Ludhiana on New Year’s Eve– Tickets Live Tomorrow 2 pm IST, only on Zomato Live.”

Diljit has time and again expressed his fondness for Ludhiana, the city where he spent several years of his life.

In his recent Chandigarh concert, he had announced that he won’t perform in India till the time proper infrastructure is developed.

The Dil-Luminati tour had started from Delhi in October, and has been to several cities in India including Hyderabad, Chandigarh, Lucknow, Pune, Guwahati, Bengaluru, Kolkata among others, and will now conclude in Ludhiana.

Born in Dosanjh Kalan village of Jalandhar, Diljit was just eleven when his parents had sent him to Ludhiana to live with his maternal uncle.

Thereafter, along with the schooling, he also started his career in music industry from Ludhiana when he was in his teens. His first album “Ishq da uda ada” was recorded and released from Ludhiana.

He also used to sing devotional songs and kirtan with his uncle in gurdwaras of Ludhiana during his school days.

Some months ago, when he visited Ludhiana to promote his film “Jatt & Juliet 3”, Diljit had got emotional and remembered that how his fans had arrived in huge numbers at city’s single screen theatre Aarti Cinema when “Jatt & Juliet 1” was released years ago.

Savouring the roadside kulchey-chholey, Diljit while roaming in the old city area had said: “This is the real Ludhiana… Ghanta Ghar, Chaura Bazaar… mera shehar Ludhiana (my city Ludhiana).”
