Over 10 million people have already seen it.<\/p>\n
Now, after three years, Vegas finally gets its chance to add to those blockbuster numbers.<\/p>\n
Since launching in March 2022, Coldplay\u2019s \u201cMusic of the Spheres\u201d world tour has become the most attended tour of all time, with 10.3 million tickets sold.<\/p>\n
While Taylor Swift\u2019s record-smashing \u201cEras\u201d tour deservedly earned plenty of headlines for its unprecedented success, the British rockers weren\u2019t far behind, earning a whopping $1.14 billion as the second-highest-grossing tour ever.<\/p>\n
The outing comes to an end Sept. 8 following an epic 10-night stand at London\u2019s Wembley Stadium.<\/p>\n
But before then, it comes to Vegas with a pair of shows at Allegiant Stadium on June 6 and 7 in one of the city\u2019s biggest concert events of the year.<\/p>\n
Coldplay highlights a predictably loaded Vegas concert calendar for 2025. Here are some other notable shows:<\/p>\n
