Coldplay’s Ahmedabad concert was India’s largest concert ever with 1.34 lakh people attending it!
Coldplay Ahmedabad goes big!
Move over, Bieber – Coldplay just rewrote the rulebook for concerts in India! The British rock legends lit up Ahmedabad on Republic Day (January 26, 2035) like never before, pulling off the biggest concert in the country’s history. That’s right, the “Beliebers” are going to have to sit this one out because Coldplay’s Ahmedabad stop smashed the attendance record.
Coldplay held a total of five gigs in Mumbai and Ahmedabad. On Monday, January 27, the band shared on X (formerly Twitter) that their final concert in Ahmedabad saw 1,34,000 people in attendance live. With this, Coldplay becomes the largest ticketed concert in India ever. Before this, this title was held by singers Diljit Dosanjh and Justin Bieber, with 50,000 people in attendance.
With a crowd so massive it could probably be seen from space, the band turned Narendra Modi Stadium into a galaxy of lights (and loud cheers). Fans sang along to every hit, from Fix You to Viva La Vida, waving their glowing wristbands and screaming their lungs out.
Chris Martin-led Coldplay performed five shows in India as part of their Music of the Spheres World Tour. The first three gigs were in Mumbai followed by two shows in Ahmedabad.
Interestingly, this is the biggest concert ever for Coldplay as well. It surpassed the 83,000 mark from their Sydney gig in November last year.
It should be noted that the Narendra Modi Stadium is a cricket ground with a seating capacity of over a lakh in the stands alone. Apart from that, there were fans on the ground as well which made the band have an audience of about 1.4 lakh for the concert.
Meanwhile, both Diljit Dosanjh and Justin Bieber had performed in much smaller stadiums. The latter’s gig was held at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai in 2017. On the other hand, Diljit had 50,000 people attending his concert at Sector 34 Ground in Chandigarh in December 2024 as part of the Dil-Luminati Tour.
