Diljit Dosanjh said India can host bigger music festivals than Coachella during his meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Watch | Bollywood News
India has the potential to host music festivals of a larger scale than marquee global events like Coachella, Punjabi singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh said during his meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on New Year's Day. The globally popular singer met the Prime Minister at his residence on Wednesday where they discussed music, culture and India's artistic heritage.
During the meeting, PM Modi asked Dosanjh about his experience of traveling outside India and performing at various global festivals like the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2023. “I feel that they did festivals like Coachella or any other very big one. And I believe we can make it much bigger. People come from all over the world for these festivals,” said the 40-year-old singer. Dosanjh said music is ingrained in the cultural fabric of India and pointed out that people who are not professionally trained can often demonstrate impeccable talent.
“Whether we are eating at a dhaba or someone is singing in Rajasthan, the song we listen to is so melodious that I feel like I should stop singing. He sings such a good song. And I sing professionally, this person doesn't even sing professionally. And he sings better than me. He has so much art in him.
“If such a development happens here, people from all over the world will come,” Diljit said.
The Prime Minister told the singer that he had thought the same thing for many years. “Now I am doing it through Waves,” Modi said, referring to the upcoming Global Broadcast Entertainment Summit. The summit, to be held from February 5 to 9, is billed as a global platform for creative talent, fostering collaborations and showcasing the country's potential as a hub for world-class content creation.
“My idea is that we are a very big country and most of the world's films are filmed here. The world's largest creative industry is located here. So I'm trying to start a big movement here through Waves. From now on, India will be the center of the creative world,” he said.

The Prime Minister also recalled a discussion on music with Angela Merkel, the former German Chancellor. “She asked me about music. I told him that in my country the music before sunrise is different and the music after sunrise is different. I told him that there are different types of music in India,” he said. “Then I said whether it’s a sad situation or a happy situation, there are different types of music. She was very interested,” he added.
Dosanjh also spoke about his successful 'Dil-Luminati India Tour', which began in New Delhi on October 26 and concluded in Ludhiana on December 31. During the two-month tour, Diljit also performed in cities including Mumbai, Jaipur, Chandigarh, Indore, Bangalore and Guwahati.
“This is the biggest ever tour of India. We have played in many countries and done many stadium shows,” he said. “We say 'Mera Bharat Mahaan', but I got to witness it during this tour when I visited different cities. I understood why we say that,” he said.
Prime Minister Modi said that Indians are very eco-friendly and asked Dosanjh to spread awareness about this through his shows. The Prime Minister also praised the singer for remaining grounded despite the fame he has gained.
