Mon Jan 27 08:04:37 UTC 2025: ## Coldplay’s Ahmedabad Concert Breaks Indian Attendance Record; Martin Praises Venue Amidst Infrastructure Debate
**Ahmedabad, India** – Coldplay concluded its Indian leg of the “Music of the Spheres World Tour” Sunday night with a record-breaking performance in Ahmedabad. The concert, attended by an estimated 134,000 people, is now officially the largest ticketed concert in India’s history, surpassing previous records held by Justin Bieber and Diljit Dosanjh by over 60,000 attendees.
Frontman Chris Martin lauded the Narendra Modi Stadium, declaring it “the best stadium in the whole wide world.” He expressed gratitude for the enthusiastic Indian audience, stating, “We are so happy to be here… We had the best time and we are going to miss you.”
This effusive praise stands in contrast to recent comments by Punjabi pop star Diljit Dosanjh, who criticized India’s lack of adequate infrastructure for live music events. Dosanjh previously stated he would not perform in India until improvements are made. Following Coldplay’s overwhelmingly positive experience, netizens have highlighted the disparity, tagging Dosanjh in social media posts celebrating the Ahmedabad concert’s success.
Coldplay’s Ahmedabad show marks a significant milestone for the Indian live music scene, demonstrating the potential for large-scale ticketed events when appropriate infrastructure is available. The concert’s unprecedented attendance underscores the enormous demand for international artists in India.
