Coldplay Creates History with Record-Breaking Concert at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad 2025
Coldplay Ahmedabad Concert: Record-Breaking Show at Narendra Modi Stadium
British rock band Coldplay delivered an electrifying performance at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday, marking their first-ever concert in Gujarat. The packed venue, capable of holding over 100,000 fans, witnessed a night to remember as Chris Martin and his bandmates left the audience spellbound with their stellar show.
The highlight of the evening was Chris Martin’s heartfelt attempt to connect with the audience by speaking in Gujarati. Greeting the crowd with, “Tame logo aaje badha sundar laago cho. Hu tamare shahar ma aavyo chu. Kem cho Ahmedabad?” (You all look beautiful today. I’ve come to your city. How are you, Ahmedabad?), Martin’s warm gesture won the hearts of fans and set the tone for an unforgettable night.
During the performance of their iconic track A Sky Full of Stars, the stadium turned into a galaxy of lights. Fans illuminated the venue with their phones, creating a surreal atmosphere. Martin encouraged attendees to immerse themselves fully in the moment, saying, “Your phone in your pocket, your hands in the sky,” which was followed by thunderous cheers and a magical singalong.
The band later took to social media to express gratitude for the overwhelming response. On their official X (formerly Twitter) account, Coldplay wrote, “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.”
Viral Moments from the Ahmedabad Concert
Fans shared numerous videos of the event on social media, but one clip stood out – a stadium-wide singalong to Fix You, where the audience lit up the night with their phone lights. The video quickly went viral, with many fans praising the energy and enthusiasm in Ahmedabad compared to the previous concerts in Mumbai.
In contrast to critiques of the “low energy” crowd at their Mumbai shows, the Ahmedabad audience’s spirited participation became the talk of the town. One user commented, “Seems like Coldplay’s concert in Ahmedabad had a much better vibe than the Mumbai one.”
A Republic Day Treat for Fans
Coldplay’s India tour will conclude with another grand performance at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday, January 26, coinciding with Republic Day. For those unable to attend, the band has announced a live stream of the event on Disney+ Hotstar. The streaming will begin at 7:45 PM, allowing fans across India to experience the magic from their homes.
Chris Martin shared a special message for fans via Instagram: “Namaste to all our friends in India. We’re thrilled to share that on the 26th of January, our show from Ahmedabad will be streaming live on Disney+ Hotstar, so you can watch it from anywhere in India. We hope you’ll join us – we’re so excited to visit your beautiful country.”
Security and Preparations
The Ahmedabad Police left no stone unturned to ensure the safety of the attendees. Over 3,800 police personnel, including female officers, were deployed, supported by 400 CCTV cameras and additional security measures. Metal detectors and plainclothes officers added another layer of security for the historic event.
Coldplay’s India Connection
This marks Coldplay’s fourth visit to India and their second set of performances as part of the Music of the Spheres World Tour. The band first captivated Indian audiences in Mumbai, where Martin delighted fans by attempting greetings in Hindi and Marathi.
Reflecting on their journey, Martin said during the Mumbai show, “Aap sab ka bahut swagat hai humare show pe. Mumbai mein aakar hume bahut khushi ho rahi hai.” (You’re all very welcome to our show. We’re very happy to be in Mumbai.)
The Ahmedabad concerts not only highlighted Coldplay’s global appeal but also their commitment to connecting with local cultures. Their journey now continues to Hong Kong and South Korea, promising more unforgettable performances.
