Coldplay are on track to become the first UK act to earn more than £1 billion from a single tour.
The ‘Feels Like I’m Falling in Love’ hitmakers’ latest album, ‘Moon Music’, became the biggest-selling record by a UK artist in three years when it rocketed to number one on the UK’s Official Albums Chart last week.
Meanwhile, the band’s ‘Music Of The Spheres Tour’ – which began in March 2022 – continues, and it looks set to break another record after more than nine million tickets were already sold, and they are on track for 10 million sales.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “Coldplay will be on course to bank £1 billion from their Music Of The Spheres tour, which is an incredible feat.
“The global demand for their live shows is incredible and they sell out every venue.
“Next month they will set another milestone of 10 million ticket sales for one tour, which is miles ahead of any other act.
“Given the success of ‘Moon Music’, it proves Coldplay’s fanbase is only continuing to grow.”
Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras Tour’ has grossed more than $1 billion, but Coldplay will make history for a UK act if they repeat the feat.
However, the band – also made up of Guy Berryman, Johnny Buckland and Will Champion – won’t be making many more albums.
Chris recently revealed Coldplay are only planning to make another two records before hanging up the microphone.
Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Chris said: “We are only going to do 12 proper albums and that’s real. Yeah. I promise.
“Because less is more. And for some of our critics, even less would be even more! It’s really important that we have that limit.
“There’s only seven Harry Potters. There’s only 12 and a half Beatles albums. There’s about the same for Bob Marley, so all of our heroes.
“Also having that limit means the quality control is so high right now, and for a song to make it, it’s almost impossible, which is great. And so where we could be coasting, we’re trying to improve.”
