The music and arts festival, taking place in the Coachella Valley in California’s Indio, is scheduled to take place over two weekends.
It was a historic moment for Indian artists as actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh became the first Punjabi singer to perform at the US’ popular Coachella music festival.
The Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival is one of the most profitable music events in the world and generally takes place in Indio, California.
Diljit took over the stage to mark his debut and it was nothing less than dhamakedaar! Dressed in a black Tamba and Kurta paired with kundal, Diljit gave the perfect Punjabi munda vibes on an international music stage.
Dosanjh was part of the day two line-up of the first weekend, which saw performances by global music stars such as Blackpink, Charli XCX, Labrinth and Kid Laroi.
Dressed in an all-black traditional Punjabi attire paired with sneakers, Dosanjh prayed before entering the stage and was welcomed with a huge cheer from the fans amid fireworks.
“Now it has been written in history. Punjabi aa gaye hum Coachella (Punjabis have reached Coachella). And those who don’t understand my songs, catch the vibe,” Dosanjh said on stage in Punjabi.
As per other videos circulating on social media, the singer-actor, who shuffles between India and Canada, performed his hit tracks such as “Jatt da pyaar”, “Patiala peg” and “Munda hunda dhuppa vich tan kudiye”.
Throughout the performance, shots of Dosanjh’s previous concerts were playing on a big screen in the background on stage.
He was accompanied by a live band and bhangra dance troupe during his close to the 45-minute-long set.
“@diljitdosanjh got Sahara shining,” a post on the official Instagram handle of Coachella music festival read.
