Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh has issued an ultimatum regarding his future concerts in India. During his performance in Chandigarh on Saturday night, the singer, currently on his "Dil-Luminati" tour, declared that he will not host another concert in the country until the government improves the concert infrastructure.

Diljit emphasized the need for better facilities and organization for live events in India, citing ongoing challenges that affect the overall concert experience. His statement highlights the growing concern among artists regarding the country's event infrastructure and the demand for necessary improvements.

In a video posted by a fan from the concert, Diljit took the spotlight and voiced his frustration with the country's inadequate infrastructure, saying, “I want to tell the designated authorities that India does not have the infrastructure for live shows. This is a big revenue generating space. It also gives livelihood to many. Please focus on this space as well,"

“I will try to set up a stage in the middle while the crowd is distributed around it (to improve concert experience). I will not perform shows here until things improve here. Instead of troubling us, improve the infrastructure," Diljit continued.

Diljit's concerts faced criticism after tickets were being resold at inflated prices. While some have accused the Punjabi actor-singer of being involved in black-marketing his tickets, Diljit expressed disappointment over these allegations. The ‘Lover’ singer made it clear that he has no connection to ticket scalpers and emphasized that if tickets are being sold at such prices, artists have no control over the situation.
