The band Coldplay has set a record for the most major stadium concerts in the 21st century following their two-day performance at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, as reported by Live Nation.
This was reported by Livemint, according to UNN.
Details
Coldplay performed their concerts in India for the first time. The first night attracted 111,581 attendees, while the second night saw 111,989. Reportedly, the total number of visitors over both nights exceeded 223,000. This slightly surpasses the previous record set by George Strait, who performed in front of 110,905 fans at Kyle Field in Texas A&M in June.
Strait's show still holds the record for the largest stadium concert in the U.S. The British band Coldplay held their final concert in India as part of their "Music of the Spheres" world tour in Ahmedabad on Monday.
They expressed gratitude to fans for their love and kindness over the past two weeks. The band, consisting of Chris Martin, Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland, and Will Champion, kicked off their India tour in Mumbai on January 18, performing three shows there before heading to Ahmedabad for two more concerts on January 25 and 26.
Coldplay, known for hits like "Hymn for the Weekend," "The Scientist," "Clocks," "Yellow," and "Speed of Sound," first performed in India in 2016 at the Global Citizen festival in Mumbai. Frontman Chris Martin also performed the patriotic Indian anthem "Maa Tujhe Salaam" during the concert, dedicating it to the celebration of India's 76th Republic Day.
Reminder
Taylor Swift's Eras Tour has become the highest-grossing in history, earning $2.07 billion over 149 concerts. This is double the previous record held by Elton John with his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.
