After Coldplay’s record, the ranking of the bands with the most shows at the River stadium

Coldplay They just made history as the band with the most shows in one visit and same tour at River Plate Stadium. With their tenth date announced on Monday 6 June, the British band broke the record of nine they held Ruggero Waters with his The wall live in 2012.

Those led by Chris Martin have already sold out on nine tour dates The music of the spheres in the Monumentale between the end of October and the beginning of November, which translates to 550 thousand tickets solda real madness.

At this point, it is very likely that Coldplay will run out of tickets for the new show which goes on sale today, Tuesday 7 June, at 12 noon through the All Access website (www.allaccess.com.ar/event/coldplay).

Close to the all-time record of the Stones

Since Coldplay dates began to fill up, statisticians had speculated that he could break the limit of multiple gigs in the same stadium tour with the largest capacity in Argentina.

Now that it has finally happened, it is worth remembering another ranking that has been less close in recent days: that of the groups that have visited the Monumental de Nuñez several times if we add other visits to the country. For example, to these ten Coldplay shows we should add one more from 2010, as part of the tour Live the life.

Even with that date, the London-based group failed to exceed 12 recitals of The rolling stones into the river. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and company broke five dates between February 9-16, 1995, during their first visit to the country.

About 350,000 people are estimated to have enjoyed that band’s debut with i Voodoo room tourr. But their Satanic Majesties returned two more times to the Monumental. In 1998 they gave another five concerts with the tour Bridges to Babylon; and in 2006 they filled two more with the presentation of the album Bigger bang.

Waters and others from the international list

In 2007 Roger Waters first came to Argentina and gave two shows at the Monumental to be revisited live The dark side of the moonthe emblematic Pink Floyd album.

Five years later, the British musician returned to Argentina with his show The wall live and a full house for nine consecutive Rivers, for a total of 11 visits to the former Antonio Vespucio Liberti, the same historic number reached by Coldplay.

At the time, Pop Art – the tour’s production company – and Waters’ manager were surprised at how quickly the first two concerts sold out.

Dates have been added as much as possible, resulting in unprecedented success: 448,150 seats sold and a net inflow of $ 38 million. For the nine concerts, Waters received a fee of $ 15.7 million.

Close the list of international artists with more dates in Nuñez Madonna with 8 (divided into three visits: 1993, 2008 and 2012), Kiss with 6 (between 1994 and 2012) and two with 5: AC / DC (two in 1996 and three in 2009) and U2 (three in 1998 and two in 2006).

Soda Stereo, the most monumental place

Gustavo Cerati, Zeta Bosio and Charly Alberti closed Soda Stereo in 1997 with a small continental tour. The farewell tour included his first River Plate stadium on September 20 of that year.

That recital included 27 songs, guest musicians and culminated with the mythical thanks total while the latest chords of of light music. And he closed a stage that left a legacy of nine albums, and an infinite number of national rock classics that were part of the 80s and 90s soundtrack.

But the trio would climb Monumental again ten years later with the tour you will see me returnfrom which they established the record of consecutive performances at the local level: there were six concerts distributed between 19 October and 21 December.

Soda largely leads the local historical ranking of the presences in the river. Only Los Piojos comes close to that record with 4 (not counting another 3 shows as part of Quilmes Rock). They are followed by several bands such as Serú Girán, Patricio Rey and Los Redonditos de Ricota, La Renga and Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, among others.
