In that time Chris Martin & Co. have managed to make history, according to Billboard's Boxscore. The numbers state that, after grossing $945.7 million and selling 8.8 million tickets since March 2022, Coldplay's Music Of The Spheres World Tour is the highest-grossing and best-selling among all Rock acts in almost 40 years of tracking.
Coldplay's highest-grossing milestone now moves Elton John’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour one step down Billboard's impressive Top 10 list, followed by U2’s U2 360 Tour, Guns N' Roses' Not In This Lifetime... Tour, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Roger Waters.
Coldplay also tops Billboard's best-selling tour list, knocking U2 out of the number-one spot after 13 years with 8.82 million tickets sold between 2022 and 2024. Swipe above for details.
