Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour Is the Biggest Rock Tour of All Time


Coldplay earns the biggest rock tour of all time with Music of the Spheres Tour.

Coldplay is the midst of the third European leg of the Music of the Spheres World Tour, which has also taken the British quartet to Asia and North and South America, with 11 shows scheduled in Australia and New Zealand later this year. That makes it both the highest-grossing and best-selling trek among rock acts in the almost-40 years that Boxscore has been tracking concert data. Among high-grossing rock treks, Coldplay sneaks past Elton John ’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour, which grossed $939.1 million during its run from 2018-23.
