Biggest crowd this year?

Do you have 90,000 cousins?

Biggest crowd on the NME will surely be Skrillex

[rawaudioinput]

I reckon Biffy will get the biggest crowd of the weekend just as there will be less crowd split than the Eminem day. I think outside of headlining System will get the biggest crowd.

On NME I think the biggest crowd will definitely be Skrillex; absolutely massive booking. However I also reckon it'll be absolutely packed for Bastille, Jake Bugg and Disclosure; especially as Bastille is up against Deftones who I doubt will draw that big of a crowd.

Knife Party will probably draw a dangerously large crowd on the Dance stage and I reckon it'll also be packed for Flux Pavilion and Baauer.

I actually reckon ASIWYFA will draw a big crowd; it was pretty packed in FR in 2011 and they have got bigger since then. Plus with it being the Biffy day there should be a lot of crossover for those in the know.

The sort of people who see acts in the Lock Up tent probably won't be there this year; will be able to play football all day long in there.

I think Spector will attract the least dismal crowd of three FR headliners, but still pretty dismal. The biggest crowd will be The 1975 and it will be Ed Sheeran level.

I reckon that Wretch 32 will get a pretty good crowd, but I expect a big crowd for Mikill Pane.

Modestep's NME crowd could be fairly big as well considering it's the Em/C&S day, I wouldn't mind seeing them if I'm honest

[rawaudioinput]

Modestep will probably draw a big crowd and so will Twin Atlantic who I assume will be on at the same time on Main. I think they have strategically placed Brand New where they are to ensure that Palma Violets get a big crowd on NME.

Really? Almost everyone I know is planning on seeing Knife Party and Skrillex, and I haven't heard one person say they're seeing Magnetic Man. I agree Magnetic Man will probably draw a bigger crowd than Sub Focus but I was comparing them to the acts I mentioned.

And there's not much of either this year ha

[mrtourette]

I see trying to pigeonhole bands into genres that don't exist a complete waste of time.

[dentalplan]

Just because there are Ben Sherman wearing sixth formers on a social media soapbox saying 'band x is the mod' doesn't give them a separate genre to indie. The only bands in recent years I'd consider calling 'mod' would be The Rifles and The Ordinary Boys.

Preston from Ordinary Boys went to my school.

Fun fact of the day.

[alex28]

Eminem will have the biggest crowd I think. Also reckon Green Day, SOAD and Fall Out Boy will have huge crowds.

As for Alt-J, I can't see them drawing that big a crowd, but I suppose it'll be the place to be for most of the indie fans. They're one of those bands who's popularity I don't understand. I'm 17 and know about three people who don't hate Alt-J.
