Trudeau also shared photos from the event, writing, "Stopped by the Rogers Centre to wish @diljitdosanjh good luck before his show." He praised Diljit for his achievement, saying, "Canada is a great country — one where a guy from Punjab can make history and sell out stadiums. Diversity isn’t just our strength. It’s a super power."

Nearly 50,000 people attended Diljit's concert at the Rogers Centre on Saturday, which was part of his Dil-Luminati tour that concluded in Toronto.

The tour began in April in Vancouver, attracting over 50,000 attendees. It also included a stop in Los Angeles. Earlier, Diljit promoted his tour on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where he performed his hits "GOAT" and "Born To Shine."

Last year, Diljit became the first Punjabi singer to perform at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, earning widespread acclaim for his performance.
