Ahmedabad hosted the world’s biggest concert on January 25-26 weekend. With over 10.3 million tickets already sold and eight months of touring still left to go, British band Coldplay has broken the record for the highest attendance for a music tour.

The total attendance for the Music of the Spheres World Tour has exceeded Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour. For now, Eras Tour remains the highest-grossing music tour at $2,077,618,725. 

On the weekend of January 25, 26, Coldplay performed the largest-ever stadium show of the 21st century in Ahmedabad. More than 2,23,000 fans attended the show across the two nights. 

“Our biggest ever concert. Totally mind-blowing,” wrote Coldplay on X handle.

Coldplay vs Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour

According to the Guinness World Records, Coldplay’s vibrant Music of the Spheres World Tour holds the record, having sold over 10.3 million tickets in 2 months —surpassing Taylor Swift’s total of 10.1 million. With the British band set to continue their tour until September 2025, that number is expected to grow even further before they officially retire.

The tour commenced in March 2022 with a show in Costa Rica, marking Coldplay’s first-ever show in the US. The band’s next show will take place in April in Hong Kong, followed by Seoul before heading to the United States. 

The Music of the Spheres album came out in 2021 and was a UK Number 1 album within two weeks of its release. 

Coldplay’s latest tour adds itself to the list of some extraordinary concerts that have claimed Guinness World Records titles. 

Though Music of the Spheres is the second-highest-grossing tour after the Eras Tour, Coldplay will be performing through September. If the band crosses $2,077,618,725 in terms of overall gross, it could take over the Eras Tour as the highest-grossing tour ever.
