Biggest crowd 2010

[Block of Mud]

It's not to much 'for a laugh' obviously as the chance to see a genuine legend for the sake of it. Personally if Stevie came to the O2, Wembley Arena etc it wouldn't cross my mind to go and watch him so if there's something I prefer at Glasto then I'd do that.

I think a lot of people learnt from Springsteen last year that there is very little point in going to see a legend just to say you've been there unless you love their music.

If you love Stevie then I couldn't be happier for you - if you don't then I don't see the point in going just because he's a legend.

Just my view.

Based on what people have highlighted on the clashfinder, it'll be U2.

Oooh, is there any chance of you posting the stats from clashfinder?

Not really, sorry. I don't want people to be tempted to try to game the system to get their favourite band higher up the table (although they probably wouldn't be able to without understanding how the scores are evaluated). Er, I probably shouldn't even have mentioned that stats exist.

I've had a think about what I'd feel safe releasing -- how about the top ten in alphabetical order (without scores, obv)?

I would guess none of the above...the England match on the Wednesday may beat the lot of them...nothing else competing...so if it is sunny...and the result matters a lot (which it may)...then I reckon 70,000 is possible...can't see more than 60,000 even for U2

[halvin]

Maybe making the list alphabetical order is too paranoid when the top counts are in the thousands.

Here you go (spoilered in case anyone doesn't want to know):

u2, muse, stevie, floren, faithl, snoopd, vampir, mgmt, hotchi, seasic

I've posted the short names but you should be able to figure out what they are.

Then again, I'm not down with the kids and it may be Muse, but are they really as big as U2 or Stevie?

[Poleski]

I personally think it will be Stevie Wonder, even though I won't be there to see him. I think the U2/ The Flaming Lips / Groove Armada/ Fatboy Slim clash will spread out the crowds on the Friday. More so than Sunday anyway.

[TazOnSpeed]

U2 Easy. One and Only chance to see init, Probably the one and only time they will play Glasto, & most people would never actually get a ticket to a U2 gig, so wouldn't have any other opportunity too.

I think it will be close between N-Dubz and U2 tho, as the Dubz are the future of British Music Niiiiiiiiiiii

[al_coholic]

In my opinion the 2 biggest crowds will be U2 & Stevie, the main reason for this is that they are legends and also because their gigs around the world cost a fortune, so the chance to see them at Glastonbury is one most people cannot afford to miss.

Also, it will be really interesting to see U2 in a stripped down environment without their "Claw"

3rd biggest crowd will probably be Rolf Harris opening the Pyramid on the Friday

interesting how neither Dizzee or SS are on there even though they are deemed big enough to be second to top headliners

[FunkyDenz]

Stevie has an advantage over the others, he is playing the Sunday, when the locals swell the numbers.

I don't think the football will get 70,000, as doubt there will be 70,000 people on site by 3pm on the Wednesday, more likely 55,000 on site, of which 45,000 will be watching the match.

Oh f**k off That would assume that 175,000 people use the clash finder, and tone of other things, are any of those below the headliners really bigger than Dizzee or SS and deserve the slot ?

[sifi]

there's that 'going to Stevie for a laugh' thing again...
