Biggest crowd this year?

[kev1664]

I hope KP start around 10ish so I can catch a good proportion of their set after Biffy

[Matt42]

Eminem & Chase and status will get the biggest w*nker crowd of the weekend

Green day and soad will get the biggest fanboy crowd of the weekend (not saying that they will be screaming like girls just you know what I mean)

Biffy will get a big, nice happy crowd! That are all polite as fuck and they are out to have a good time!

NIN Will not have much youth, shame.

[thetime]

The positive thing about NIN is that even if it is a small crowd, there won't be any slutty girls

[thetime]

Eminem by a country mile will get biggest crowd. Hes by far the biggest draw at the festival, does not tour much in uk, people being curious about him. If I was going I would even though he was shit ladt time around.

Lets be honest its not been difficult to see biffy at fests/gigs last few years and even less difficult in the next few years.

Green day? Well...

[Matt42]

Green day have lost alot of popularity... Their new albums just didn't cut it for alot of people I knew..

Even myself, didn't like any of uno dos and tres.

Do you have 90,000 cousins?

[lightning1000]

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

System of a Down will probably get the biggest crowd. Clash wise they have it the easiest & they'll appeal to both Green Day fans & a lot of Skrillex's cross over fans, so I should imagine they'll have a big crowd based on that.

Chase & Status will be busy, as will Eminem, but I think people are underestimating Alt-J though, all the indie kids that think Eminem doesn't belong here will be in the NME tent.

Blimey how the youth have changed, when I was your age thats all I wanted.

[kev1664]

When you were my age I doubt all the girls in your town had clap, or some sort of mental inefficiency

It depends on Biffy's set length, if they start around half 8, get 2 hours they'll finish half 10ish? Might be able to catch the end of KP unless they get a ridiculously short set?

I reckon one of the biggest on NME will be Bastille,reckon they'll get a fucking huge crowd. Pompeii is being played absolutely everywhere, they had a number one album and theyre on relatively early, think they clash with Deftones who I can't see getting a huge crowd.I think they will pack out the tent.

@kev - so if I want to see NIN in the dark I'm better off going to Reading?

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

I've never understood why the curfew at Leeds is earlier, yet it's more out in the open than Reading & thus less likely to disturb anyone? Plus they have after hours stuff that Reading doesn't. It's really odd.

One of the tents was still running when Foo Fighters finished at Reading last year.

Nope all headliners finish at the same time. It's different at download where they all start at the same time but not R&L. Set times should be worked back from the curfew for headliners. So 23:30 at reading would have a 2hr30 set starting at 21:00 at Leeds it's 23:00 curfew so biffy for 2hr30 would start at 20:30.

Plus all women/girls are batshit mental. You'll find that in every one of them.....

Ah right didn't know that, just cause Metronomy and The View both started at 10 last year, assumed they'd finish half 11 ish

Are you talking about Leeds or Reading? They both started about 10.30pm at Reading (the View may have been a bit later) and finished at 11.30pm. I would imagine at Leeds they both started and finshed half an hour earlier, given that Leeds' curfew is half an hour before Reading's.
