Singer Sagar Bhatia is expanding his global reach with a newly announced international tour scheduled for 2026, bringing his contemporary approach to traditional qawwali to audiences across Canada and Singapore. The upcoming concert series highlights the surging overseas demand for South Asian live music experiences, a trend accelerated by international tours from prominent artists such as Diljit Dosanjh and Karan Aujla.
The tour schedule includes stops in Vancouver, Toronto, Edmonton, and Singapore, according to tour announcements released by the artist. Bhatia has built a loyal following through both digital platforms and live performances, earning recognition for injecting modern musical sensibilities into a classical Sufi vocal tradition without losing its core devotional framework.
“Performing live has always been the most special part of my journey as an artist,” Sagar Bhatia said in a statement regarding the tour. “The love I’ve received from audiences across the world has been incredibly humbling, and I’m excited to bring my music to fans in Canada and Singapore. Every city has its own energy, and I can’t wait to create unforgettable memories together through music.”
Expanding Global Reach for Traditional Qawwali
