Coldplay’s Ahmedabad stop was part of their Music of the Spheres World Tour, which also included five shows across Mumbai and Ahmedabad. On January 27, the band shared on X (formerly Twitter) that the final show in Ahmedabad had attracted a record-breaking number of fans. The audience filled the stadium and spilled onto the grounds, creating an atmosphere filled with energy as fans cheered loudly and sang along to hits like Fix You and Viva La Vida, their glowing wristbands lighting up the stadium in a stunning display.

The concert marked a personal milestone for Coldplay, surpassing their previous largest gig, held in Sydney in November of the previous year, where 83,000 people attended. The Narendra Modi Stadium, primarily a cricket ground with a seating capacity exceeding 100,000, hosted a crowd even larger than that, thanks to fans gathered on the ground as well.

Coldplay’s achievement puts their performance in India at the top, overtaking the previous record holders, Diljit Dosanjh and Justin Bieber, whose concerts had drawn 50,000 fans each. Bieber’s show was held at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai in 2017, while Diljit’s concert took place at the Sector 34 Ground in Chandigarh in December 2024 during his Dil-Luminati Tour.
