He further suggested improvements for audience experience, stating, “I will try to set up a stage in the middle next time, so the crowd can gather around it. But until there’s better infrastructure, I won’t perform in India.”

Controversy Surrounding the Chandigarh Concert

The much-anticipated concert faced its share of hurdles. Reports emerged of tickets being resold at exorbitant prices, leading to accusations of black marketing. Responding to criticism, Diljit denied any involvement, stating, “An artist cannot control what happens with ticket resale. I am disappointed with those blaming me for this.”

Additionally, the singer was issued advisories by the Chandigarh Commission for Protection of Child Rights and Telangana authorities, urging him to avoid performing songs that promote violence or alcohol consumption due to their negative influence on youth.
