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.

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.

Even your cities have Islamic names.

Ahmedabad, the largest city in the Indian state of Gujarat, was historically known as Karnavati before it was renamed by Sultan Ahmed Shah in the 15th century. The city has a rich and vibrant history, and its previous name, Karnavati, holds significant cultural and historical importance.

Some folks are trying to change the name back to the Hindu name, and given enough momentum, it might happen.
