a-ha, 1991. Gathered a crowd of 198,000 people who payed to see them. This was in a festival that contained the likes of George Michael, Prince, and more, it was the only night that was sold out. There are many free concerts with larger crowds but I believe that a-ha still might hold the largest for a paying concert
Metallica's 1991 performance in moscow... well over 1 million fans in attendance not satellite crap live the stuff writen below
AnswerTo be more precise, the largest concert audience, present ath the concert, and not on tv. Was 504000 spread of 7 concerts of Michael Jackson's Bad Tour in Wembley stadium, UK.The largest concert audience?
For a "live" televised concert via Satellite it's "Live Aid" which was held to raise money for famine relief in Ethiopa. An estimated 1.5 billion people watched the telecast in 100 countries on July 13, 1985.
For an attended concert, the winner is the Rod Stewart concert held at Copacabana Beach on December 31, 1994. It was estimated that 3.5 million people attended the free concert in Rio de Janeiro.
Addendum
Jean Michel Jarre's concert in Moscow in 1997 celebrating the city's 850th Anniversary also had an estimated 3.5 million attendees. And Jarre's shows are most certainly the largest when it comes to his 'stage'..he uses entire cities as his backdrops....If you ever have a chance to see one of his shows, do so...there is nothing like it.
Again the largest INDOOR concert is Alice cooper in Brazil in 1974
Amendment:
I'd actually like to disagree with your above statement, I believe INXS had the largest "indoor" concert in 1989 at Glen Waverely RSL with 4.2m, unfortunately its not a widely reported concert, they even had to open the second dinning room....by the way there aren't even 3.5 million people who live in Copacabana...get real.
In 1985 MENUDO a puertorican male-teenage group gather 200,000 people in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to sing"Dulces besos"and many other songs.
In 1991, A-Ha set a Guinness Book World Record by playing for the largest paying audience in the world: 198,000 people. This was a statium concert in Rio, and I do not think it has been beaten to date. This was widely reported by VH1, however, there is no faqing way that it is true. Think about it.
On 30 July 2003 the AC/DC performed with The Rolling Stones and Rush at Molson Canadian Rocks for Toronto. The concert, held before an audience of half a million, was intended to help the city overcome the negative publicity stemming from the effects of a 2003 SARS epidemic. The concert holds the record for the largest paid music event in North American history.
In 1991, AC/DC, Metallica, Pantera and some other artists, played in Russia one of the biggest gig in Rock history and the biggest in a Monsters of Rock Festival, in front of 1.6 million people in the Tushino Airfield.
