Coldplay ends tour in Brazil with a total audience of 730,000 people
the tour of Coldplay through Brazil ended with a total audience of 730 thousand people. In all, there were 11 shows in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Curitiba. The information comes from the tour’s press office and already considers the presentation this Tuesday (28), at the Nilton Santos Engenhao Stadiumin Engenho de Dentro, Rio de Janeiro.
It is an unexpected number even for the Music of the Spheres Tourwhich was scheduled to visit Brazil in October 2022. However, the British group had to postpone the presentations after the announcement of a lung infection of Chris Martinvocalist and frontman of the band, after a performance at Rock in Rioin September last year.
With the postponement, the tour, which was already extensive, with eight performances across the country, increased. A Music of the Spheres Tour took on the residency identity and topped tours by music giants such as U2which sold out the same stadium as the Morumbi five times with Joshua Tree Tour in 2017. Part of the answer to understanding ticket demand lies with the shows themselves: Chris Martin, Guy Berryman, jonny buckland It is Will Champion leave the music aside to focus on a visual and emotional experience, with an easily identifiable script.
