KUALA LUMPUR – Coldplay’s Kuala Lumpur leg of their Music of the Spheres World Tour garnered a whopping 81,812 concertgoers, despite only performing for a single night last November.
The performance also became the band’s most-attended concert in their history – with an impressive RM51 million in estimated profit – beating its 2017 show in Croke Park, Ireland, which had 80,389 attendees.
However, the Kuala Lumpur leg managed to collect about 91% of Xyloband wristbands after the concert, which is one of the highest percentages.
Imagine how much bigger the number could have been if Kuala Lumpur had hosted Coldplay’s concert for two or even three consecutive days.
Coldplay’s Singapore leg of the tour was held for six nights.
Music fans in Malaysia have long favoured Coldplay, which can be seen through the band’s successful physical album sales during its first emergence, all the way to the current era of music streaming on digital platforms.
That being said, why did a venue like Kuala Lumpur, with a colossal rock fanbase, fail to host a Coldplay concert for more than a night? – February 8, 2024
