Coldplay’s record-breaking night in Ahmedabad
Coldplay performed its largest-ever concert on January 25 at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium, with over 1 lakh fans packing the iconic venue. The band shared their excitement on their official X handle, posting a photo of the electrifying night with the caption, “Our biggest ever concert. Totally mind-blowing. Thank you Ahmedabad See you again tomorrow – and if you’re in India, please join us on Disney+ Hotstar from 7.45 pm .”
Coldplay will perform another concert at the same venue on Republic Day, which will also be live-streamed on Disney+ Hotstar.
Ahead of the show, the band shared a humorous post featuring a poorly drawn cricket ball, with a nod to Indian cricketer Jasprit Bumrah. “Even Jasprit might struggle to bowl with this badly drawn ball,” the caption joked, continuing Coldplay’s playful references to Indian cricket.
A tour to remember
The Ahmedabad concerts followed Coldplay’s sold-out shows at Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium on January 19 and 21. The Mumbai performances attracted celebrities, including singer Shreya Ghoshal, who attended with her family.
