King continues to rise in the Indian pop music scene with his string of mammoth hits. In less than three years, the New Delhi pop star, who made his Cannes red carpet debut in 2024 and was listed on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list 2024, has made a significant impact. His modern romantic ballad Maan Meri Jaan and the popular refix with Nick Jonas, titled Afterlife, set streaming records on Spotify for an Indian track, following his previous hit Tu Aake Dekhle.
King released his debut album, The Carnival, in 2020, featuring the modern classic Tu Aake Dekhle, which has garnered over 900 million streams across platforms. His third album, Champagne Talk, broke records by topping the YouTube Music Global Top 50 and the Spotify Global Top 50. The album included Maan Meri Jaan, which has over 1 billion streams and was crowned the #1 song by Spotify India in 2023.
His project New Life, released in October 2023, explored broader emotional themes and featured collaborations with international artists such as Nick Jonas, Julia Michaels, and Jason Derulo. His upcoming project, Monopoly M0ves, is set to highlight some of the biggest names in Indian hip hop.
King is preparing for international tours across the US, Canada, and the UK, solidifying his status as a globally recognised pop force.
Tricksingh, also known as Tirath Sandhu, is a 24-year-old artist and composer driving a new movement in Punjabi music. He has already made a name for himself, appearing on the Rolling Stone ‘Future of Music’ list, winning ‘Debut Artist of the Year,’ and selling out an international tour in his first year. His style reflects his love for all things homegrown, and his journey and sound are not to be missed.
Tickets for all shows go on sale at 10am local time on Wednesday 4 September, with an exclusive pre-sale for My Live Nation members starting on Tuesday 3 September at 10am.
