Biggest crowd(s)?

[VCK]

I think it's obvious Muse will draw the largest crowd of the weekend, no doubt about that, but which other bands will get large crowds, do you think?

I reckon Pulp and The Strokes will both get good sized crowds. Can also see Elbow and Madness being pretty large draws.

Then I also think Beady Eye and The Streets will ram the NME tent out.

[John92]

I thnk White Lies will have a big crowd in the nme.

Madness will have a big crowd. Elbow will have a crowd which will get bigger as their set goes on, i think.

I agree that muse will have the biggest, and pulp/strokes will both get big crowds. I also think that MCR will have a decent sized crowd.

[Welshyyy]

i would say Janes Addiction, but seeing as PULP are on at same time, i doubt it will be overally massive like pendulum last year where it was rammed

but Enter shikari might draw a big crowd & the horrors, well for that tent anyways

Obvious one wil be Muse,Pulp and The strokes.

Madness will draw a big crowd.

the offspring.

seasick steve.

frank turner.

the streets.

doherty,elbow and janes addiction should all get good size crowds.

[harderfaster]

i reckon a lot of people will turn up to see beady eye but then walk away.

[allan14]

the streets

offspring

madness

muse

pulp

the strokes

i think crystal castles would have ramed the tent if they dint clash with pulp/strokes

[Mega Ross]

Offspring, madness, muse, the streets, crystal castles, pulp, the strokes.

MCR will be playing to tumbleweed hopefully so FR never book them as headliners again.

Main Stage - Muse

NME - Vaccines

[Mariner]

Whoever headlines the lockup on Friday night.

[Bisque]

After Muse... Madness. I can imagine a lot of the teenage, early twenties group joining the fans even if it's just for a bit of Baggy Trousers action.

NME... The Streets or White Lies.

[JWC126]

Vaccines will pack out the tent.

[allan14]

if there is a decent lock up/dance stage healiner on the friday night i think they will get a massive crowd... i think its a risk as that tent is tiny

[Englishdragon]

I think Madness is going to get a ridiculous crowd. So diverse that everybody is going to be there.

NME - Odd Future, Im going to be on the barrier and Im expecting to be hurting by the end of it.

[rivalschools.price]

why are people saying that lock up may not be on the friday at reading??? isn't it always fri and sat?? i'm relying on watching the lock up headliner when MCR and beady eye are on.i will be seriously pissed off if my choice on friday will be MCR,beady eye or the dance tent.

With all the anti-MCR sentiments going around I'd say that Beady Eye are going to turn out like Pendulum last year.

[Welshyyy]

I think people hate Beady Eye even more than MCR... as they are actually s**t & don't deserve being a headliner. I think it's agreed they are only there because of Liam, which isn't good enough to even be 2, 3 or 4th on NME imo.

I think MCR will get a big crowd, they are still very popular. Muse will be the biggest of the weekend by far. Frank Turner and Madness should be good aswell.

[gary1979666]

Over the years the lock-up has been on a variety of different days, generally avoids the 'rock day' on the main stage. I think one year it didn't and it was slim pickings for me on the dance tent day.

If lock up isn't Sat/Sun at Reading, then those days would be pretty light on the rockier side of the spectrum.

[pink_triangle]

A few people have said Frank Turner, Im a fan but actually think he will have a small crowd in relation to the position on the bill. Pigeon detectives are 1 slot lower but I would say they are better known to a mainstream audience.

[Joe-]

I reckon Madness, Muse, Offspring and PULP will get the largest crowds on main stage.

White Lies, Streets, Vaccines and Beady Eye will get large NME crowds.

[mb23]

Depending on how The Vaccines' album does nearer to the festival, they could potentially do a mumford, even though the NME tent will be a lot bigger.

Muse will get a good crowd, as will Pulp, Strokes and Madness.
