Coldplay Smash Australian Attendance Record With ‘Music of the Spheres’ Tour


The English group's four-night stand in Melbourne has seen them break a 14-year-old record first set by AC/DC.

According to the venue’s own history, the current record for highest-attended concert belongs to fellow English musician Adele, whose performance on March 19, 2017 was attended by a total of 77,327. Just shy of one year later, Ed Sheeran broke the record for the largest attendance for a concert series by a single artist, bringing in a total audience of 257,751 across four shows in March 2018. Coldplay’s new attendance figure breaks the previous record set by Australian rockers AC/DC, whose Black Ice World Tour saw the band perform three shows at the venue in February 2010 to a total of 181,495 patrons.
