Coldplay’s tour is the second most successful in history

Not only do they have the most environmentally conscious tour, but it is also the highest grossing tour in rock history. Coldplay’s ‘Music of the Spheres’ tour has now become the second most successful tour in history, behind only Taylor Swift.

According to Billboard data, the British band has raised around $945 million after selling 8.8 million tickets since the start of the tour in March 2022. However, and despite having 21 more concerts to go, Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras ​​Tour’ seems that it will continue to be the biggest tour in history. In December, it became the first to have gross earnings of one billion dollars.

Coldplay has surpassed Elton John’s ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’, which earned an estimated $939 million and held the previous record. The British legend achieved this figure with 328 concerts during five years of touring, from 2018 to 2023. In turn, he surpassed Ed Sheeran’s ‘The Divide Tour’, which earned $776 million.

In addition, the tracklist for ‘Moon Music’, Coldplay’s next album, which will be available on October 4, has been revealed. Little Simz and Burna Boy will appear as guests.
