(MENAFN- Live Mint) Coldplay now holds the record for the largest-ever Stadium concerts of the 21st century after their two-night performance at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, as reported by Live Nation.
The shows marked Coldplay's first time performing in India. Over the weekend (Jan. 25-26), the band played to 111,581 fans on the first night and 111,989 fans on the second, bringing the total attendance to more than 223,000 fans across both nights, said the report.
This narrowly surpasses the previous record held by George Strait, who performed to 110,905 fans at Kyle Field in Texas A&M in June. Strait's show still holds the record for the largest U.S. stadium concert.
British band Coldplay concluded its last concert in India as part of the ongoing“Music of the Spheres World Tour” in Ahmedabad on Monday. They thanked fans for their love and kindness in the last two weeks.
Comprising Chris Martin, Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland and Will Champion, the band commenced their India tour in Mumbai on January 18 and performed three shows there before heading to Ahmedabad for two more concerts on January 25 and January 26.
Martin also wished Indian citizens as the country celebrated its 76th Republic Day on Sunday, singing AR Rahman's popular patriotic anthem "Maa Tujhe Salaaam."
This is a dream come true for us, performing in such a vibrant country.
Several personalities, including film celebrities Kartik Aaryan, Suhana Khan, Shreya Ghoshal, Kajal Aggarwal, Vijay Varma and former cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, also flocked to Coldplay's concerts in the last two weeks.
