Over 120,000 fervent fans converged at Optus Stadium for the iconic band’s performances, marking a resounding success for the Western Australian government, Live Nation, and VenuesLive collaboration that brought the record-breaking tour to Perth. The concert series injected tens of millions of dollars into the state’s economy, courtesy of tens of thousands of out-of-state visitors.

The final night of Coldplay’s Perth stint witnessed a diverse crowd of local, national, and international attendees immersed in a visually stunning spectacle. With roughly 30 percent of tickets purchased by out-of-state visitors, the event not only showcased the band’s global appeal but also contributed significantly to Western Australia’s tourism sector.
