[[File:Modena Park 2017 veduta elicottero.jpg|thumb|Audience view of [[Vasco Rossi]]'s [[Modena Park 2017]] concert in Modena, Italy. The largest attendance for a ticketed concert (220,000)]]
 
This article lists the '''most-attended [[concert]]s''' of all time. The oldest 100,000-crowd concert reported to ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' Boxscore is [[Grateful Dead]]'s gig at the [[Old Bridge Township Raceway Park|Raceway Park]], [[Englishtown, New Jersey]] on September 3, 1977. The concert was attended by 107,019 people. Internationally, which40 remainspaid theconcerts largesthave ticketedsurpassed concertthe ininitial therecord Unitedset Statesby to[[Grateful dateDead]]. [[Frank Sinatra]], [[Tina Turner]], and [[Paul McCartney]] broke the record respectively in [[Maracanã Stadium]]. With an audience of over 184,000 people on April 21, 1990, McCartney's record was broken by a Japanese rock band, [[Glay]], which held a concert with an audience of 200,000 people on July 31, 1999, in Chiba, Japan (Makuhari Parking Lot). GLAY held the record for 6 years. Italian singer [[Vasco Rossi]] surpassed the record with his solo concert on July 1, 2017 with a total of 225,173 tickets sold at [[Modena Park 2017|Modena Park]]. The concert was a celebration of his 40 years of career.
 
Although the attendance numbers of free concerts are known to be exaggerations,<ref name="nytimes"/> several concerts have been reported to have a million audience or more. Both [[Jean-Michel Jarre]]'s concert in Moscow 1997 and [[Rod Stewart]]'s concert in Copacabana 1994 have been reported to attract audiences of more than 3.5 million people. Jean-Michel Jarre has attracted a live audience of more than a million spectators on five occasions, three times in Paris, 1979, 1990 and 1995, once in Houston, 1986, and once in Moscow, 1997. He is the only artist ever to have done so.
