Coldplay completed their massive, sold out "A Head Full Of Dreams Tour" in Buenos Aires, Argentina, making it the most successful worldwide outing of their career. Produced by Live Nation, it topped out as the third highest grossing global tour of all time with $523,033,675 in ticket sales. Since its highly anticipated kickoff in March 2016, following Coldplay's headline performance at the Super Bowl 50 Halftime Show, the band has played for a staggering 5,389,586 million fans on their "A Head Full of Dreams Tour." The GRAMMY Award-winning, multi-platinum band has illuminated the globe with an incredible 114 shows in 76 cities and 31 countries, with two legs in Latin America, two in Europe, two in North America, one in Australia, and one in Asia.
It was previously announced that the tour set a new attendance record at Mexico City's Foro Sol venue on April 17, 2016 with an audience of 67,451.
