In a move that has shocked and electrified fans worldwide, the late Punjabi rapper Sidhu Moosewala will “return” to the stage for a ground-breaking global tour—three years after his assassination in Punjab. The “Signed to God” world tour, announced via Moosewala’s official Instagram account, is set to begin in 2026 and will feature a high-tech AI-powered avatar of the artist performing live across major cities including Punjab, Toronto, London, and Los Angeles.
This will be the first posthumous world tour ever planned for an Indian artist, signaling both technological advancement and innovation in the music industry. Through the use of lifelike 3D holograms, AI-generated avatars, and immersive augmented reality effects, organizers plan to recreate Moosewala’s signature stage presence. Each concert will incorporate cinematic visuals, dynamic lighting, and the singer’s original vocal tracks, delivering an emotional, deeply immersive experience.
Although exact tour dates and ticket details remain undisclosed, the announcement alone has captivated Moosewala’s global fan base and sparked heated debate across social media. Many fans describe the concept as “surreal” and “the greatest comeback in history,” while others question the ethics and emotional impact of resurrecting a departed artist through technology.
Sidhu Moosewala, born Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, was shot dead in Mansa district, Punjab, in May 2022. Known for his raw lyrics and trailblazing sound, Moosewala left behind a powerful musical legacy and a devoted global following. His songs, including hits like “So High” and “295,” continue to trend posthumously, solidifying his impact on contemporary Punjabi and global music scenes.
Organizers say the “Signed to God” tour will not only honor Moosewala’s memory but also set a precedent for how late artists might be celebrated in the digital age—melding nostalgia, technology, and fan devotion in an unprecedented spectacle.
