Diljit Dosanjh is set to take one of the biggest stages in Latin music. The Punjabi star has been confirmed as a performer at the 27th Annual Latin Grammy Awards, joining a lineup that includes Karol G, Bizarrap, and more than a dozen other global acts. The Latin Recording Academy announced the new batch of performers on November 5, 2026, setting up a major crossover moment for Punjabi music on a Latin platform.
The ceremony will take place on November 12, 2026, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The show will air live across TelevisaUnivision’s US platforms, giving audiences in the United States and beyond a chance to watch Dosanjh share a bill with some of Latin music’s biggest names.
Diljit Dosanjh’s Addition to the Latin Grammy Lineup
The Latin Recording Academy shared the updated performer list on November 5, confirming that Diljit Dosanjh will perform at the 27th edition of the awards. He is part of a newly announced group that includes Karol G, Bizarrap, Bad Gyal, DJ Premier, Grupo Niche, Nathy Peluso, Jay Wheeler, Luis Enrique, and Ángel “Cucco” Peña, among others.
The announcement quickly drew attention from Indian and Punjabi music fans, who saw it as another step in Dosanjh’s steady move from domestic success to international stages. His team marked the news with a short message on social media: “Punjabi AA Gaye Grammy Oye”, which translates to “Punjabis have arrived at the Grammy”.
The booking adds to a career that has already included a history-making performance at Coachella in 2023, where Dosanjh became the first Punjabi artist to take that stage. His inclusion in the Latin Grammy lineup places Punjabi music in front of an audience that extends well beyond the Indian diaspora.
Who Is Diljit Dosanjh: A Career Built Across Music and Film
Diljit Dosanjh is a Punjabi singer, songwriter, and actor who has become one of the most recognizable names in Indian entertainment. Born in Punjab, India, Dosanjh began his career in the early 2000s and built a following through Punjabi-language albums before crossing into Bollywood and mainstream Indian cinema.
His music catalogue includes tracks such as “Lover”, “Born to Shine”, “G.O.A.T”, and “Naina”, which have accumulated large followings on streaming platforms. Dosanjh’s acting work includes films like “Udta Punjab”, “Good Newwz”, and “Amar Singh Chamkila”, where he played the title role of the late Punjabi musician.
A major part of Dosanjh’s recent career has been his live touring. The Aura World Tour has taken him across North America and Europe, and the India leg opened with a sold-out show at Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on October 30, 2026. The India run is scheduled to cover Indore, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Lucknow, Chandigarh, and Kolkata through December. His next scheduled tour date is November 15 in Indore, just three days after the Latin Grammys.
For global audiences who may be hearing about Dosanjh for the first time through this announcement, his profile is that of a performer who has already carried Punjabi music to arena-level venues outside India. The Latin Grammy performance adds a new region to that map.
Karol G and Bizarrap: The Latin Stars Sharing the Stage
Karol G is a Colombian singer who has become one of the defining voices of modern Latin music. She is nominated in multiple categories at the 2026 Latin Grammys, including Album of the Year for “Tropicoqueta”. Her presence on the performer list brings star power from the reggaeton and Latin pop side of the ceremony.
Bizarrap is an Argentine producer and artist known for his “BZRP Music Sessions” series, which has paired him with a long list of Latin and international artists. He is also a nominee this year, competing in categories including Best Urban Performance and Best Urban Song.
A collaboration between Dosanjh, Karol G, and Bizarrap has not been announced. The three artists are confirmed as separate performers on the same ceremony lineup. Fans hoping for a joint stage moment should treat that as unconfirmed until the broadcast or an official announcement says otherwise.

What the Performance Means for Punjabi Music
Dosanjh’s Latin Grammy slot is notable because it places a Punjabi-language artist inside a ceremony built around Latin music. The Latin Grammys have historically focused on Spanish- and Portuguese-language music from Latin America, Spain, and Portugal. A Punjabi performer on that stage is a departure from the usual lineup and signals a broader reach for Indian music on global award platforms.
The move follows a pattern of Indian artists appearing at international events that were not traditionally part of their market. Dosanjh’s Coachella performance in 2023 was a similar crossover moment, and his arena tours across North America and Europe have built an audience outside India. The Latin Grammy performance extends that reach into a Latin music audience that may not have previously encountered Punjabi pop.
No official statement has been released about which song Dosanjh will perform at the ceremony. The Latin Recording Academy has not shared the setlist for any performer. Viewers will learn the performance details during the broadcast on November 12.
