Coldplay has reached an incredible new milestone, setting a record for the highest attendance on a single tour. With more than 10.3 million tickets sold and eight months of performances still to come, the British rock band’s Music of the Spheres World Tour has already surpassed Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in total attendance.
Despite this impressive achievement, The Eras Tour remains the highest-grossing tour to date, having earned an astounding Dollars 2,077,618,725 in revenue.
Coldplay's ongoing tour, however, continues to break records and captivate audiences worldwide, with their high-energy performances and captivating stage setups attracting fans from all corners of the globe.
As the Music of the Spheres World Tour continues, it’s clear that Coldplay's global appeal and dedicated fan base will keep them at the top of the touring world for the foreseeable future.
Congratulations to @coldplay - their Music of the Spheres tour has set the record for the highest attended music tour in history https://t.co/TDnHEId735Guinness World Records (@GWR) January 30, 2025
One of the most memorable highlights of Coldplay's Music of the Spheres World Tour took place over the weekend of January 25–26 in Ahmedabad, India, where the band performed in front of an astonishing crowd.
Across two nights, more than 223,000 fans packed the stadium, setting a new record for the largest stadium concert of the 21st century, as recognized by Guinness World Records.
The Music of the Spheres tour officially began in March 2022 with a groundbreaking show in Costa Rica, marking Coldplay’s first-ever performance in the country. Up next on the band's schedule is a highly anticipated show in Hong Kong this April, followed by stops in Seoul and various cities across the United States. In addition to their tour, Coldplay's frontman, Chris Martin, is set to perform at the 2025 Grammy Awards, which will take place starting February 3rd at 6:30 AM IST, adding even more excitement for fans worldwide.
Released in 2021, Music of the Spheres quickly became a chart-topping success, reaching Number 1 on the UK charts just two weeks after its debut. The album's blend of captivating melodies and innovative sound contributed to its rapid rise in popularity, further solidifying Coldplay's place as one of the most influential bands in the world.
Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres tour further cements the band’s legacy in live music history, placing them alongside other iconic acts known for their record-breaking concerts. For example, Outside Lands took the title for the highest-grossing music concert in 2019, while Bon Jovi’s Circle Tour set the record for the most expensive VIP concert package in 2010. Coldplay now joins this exclusive group, showcasing their unmatched ability to draw massive crowds and deliver unforgettable live performances.
At present, Coldplay's Music of the Spheres tour holds the title of the second-highest-grossing tour of all time, just behind Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. However, with performances scheduled through September, there’s still an opportunity for the band to surpass Swift’s record-breaking revenue.
If Coldplay manages to exceed the $2,077,618,725 mark, they could claim the title of the highest-grossing tour in music history, further cementing their place in touring greatness.
