Coldplay with its world tour titled Music of the Spheres World Tour is the best-selling rock tour ever recorded.

According to the Billboard Boxscope, the British band's world tour earned $945.7 million (Rp14.8 trillion) and sold 8.8 million tickets since starting in March 2022.

Chris Martin cs' record surpassed Elton John's previous record with the 'Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour. With 328 shows performed from September 8, 2018 to July 8, 2023, the tour grossed $939 million (Rp14.7 trillion).

At that time, Elton John surpassed Ed Sheeran's record The Divide Tour at the end of 2019, which generated $776.4 million (IDR 12.1 trillion)

Previously, Ed Sheeran beat the U2's record of The 360 Tours.

However, the rest of the Music of the Spheres World Tour performances are predicted not to surpass Taylor Swift's Eras Tour record.

Music of the Spheres World Tour itself is praised for being considered to have set new standards. With an environmentally aware music concert approach, a series of sustainable initiatives have been introduced.

After completing the show in Munich, Coldplay will continue their world tour at five more points, namely Vienna, Dublin, Melbourne, Sydney, and Auckland.
