Diljit Dosanjh kicks off 'Dil-Luminati India Tour 2024' in Delhi with energetic performance, captivating fans with chart-topping hits.
"O, ki haal Dilli walo!!!" echoed through the packed Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium as Diljit Dosanjh made a grand entry and captivated the crowd with an energetic performance that kicked off his eagerly awaited 'Dil-Luminati India Tour 2024'. The concert, the first of two scheduled for Saturday and Sunday in the national capital, saw the singer enthral thousands of fans with his chart-topping tracks like "Lover", "5 Taara", "Do You Know", "Ikk Kudi" from "Udta Punjab", and many more.
"It's an amazing vibe, and people have been waiting for the last half hour, so the craze is full-on. And as he said 'Punjabi aa gaye oye', it really felt like he's come back home. We're enjoying it," one fan told PTI.
Dosanjh, dressed in an all-black outfit, complete with a black turban and sunglasses, waved the national flag at the start of the concert. He then gave a salute in front of the flag, drawing loud cheers from the crowd.
"Delhi, we had a full house, sold out. We got permission only for this much, otherwise, we would have done it for three days in a row with a stage at the centre. Thank you guys, appreciate," he said.
Many took to social media to complain about being stuck in long traffic jams while trying to reach the venue. Several videos showed long queues at the Barapullah Bridge.
Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal was among those caught in the jam and had to leave his car and walk the last stretch to the venue. Sharing a video on his Instagram Stories showing bumper-to-bumper traffic, Goyal wrote, "Walking the last mile to JLN Stadium for Diljit. So much traffic!" At the venue, large crowds waited for hours to enter, but the excitement was palpable.
"There used to be fights back in the day, and the same is happening today because we weren't getting tickets. We had to ask some of our friends to help us get them,” another fan added. "On a scale from 1 to 100, my excitement level is 110," said one enthusiastic concert-goer.
