Crowd figures

[crazyguy]

Is there anywhere we can get official crowd figures or estimates for artists performances and general crowd figures for the festival, in terms of artists particularly Biffy Clyro, Passenger and Franz Ferdinand?

[devilman]

No.

Pharrell and Kaiser Chiefs were the biggest crowds I saw. Wasn't there but Calvin sounded like he got a huge crowd. I was at Elbow and their crowd was embarrassingly small for a headliner.

Having watched some of Calvin's set back on iPlayer, it definitely looks like it goes beyond the ferris wheel. Can't see how far either side of the stage it fans out though.

How big was the Pixies crowd?

[crazyguy]

paulo nutinis crowd was up past the big wheel and next to the t break stage when i was leaving the end of his set. CH seemed to have a massive crowd when i looked up from the side of the R1 stage when i went to the loo

Couldn't get anywhere near the first barrier for calvin. Actually think he pulled the biggest crowd of the weekend.

Saturday main stage was pretty packed Rudimental onwards, Manics, Chvrches, Franz, Pixies all seemed close to packing out Tuts too, or felt like it for the sets I was at

[crazyguy]

Just as note: King Charles only half-filled T Break, the people who said he shouldn't have been in there were wrong. Similarly with Vigo Thieves.

There's no doubt about it that Calvin Harris pulled the biggest crowd of the weekend but it was a massive crowd the full night from Rudimental onwards at the main stage.

Another massive crowd was for Duke Dumont in the Slam tent. It ended up being 1 in, 1 out during that set which is quite impressive considering how early on it was.

I do think the planning and stage splits were really poor this year though and it did have a negative affect on the crowd numbers. There were too many acts more suited to tents playing on the main and NME stage.

Got in to Duke Dumont. The tent was rammmmed, never seen the slam tent like that at half 1.

He could have played radio 1 stage easily.

I'd say calvin has pulled the biggest crowd of the weeknd for a couple of years now. Fully expect him back next year and got no problem with it as long as he is seen as a post headliner act. Would be nothing wrong with say someone like Coldplay headlining and calvin doing an hour set after to close the stage.

[Paulk2904]

No no no please ****** no

Here's a thought let the prodigy headline and give Harris a break for a couple of year ffs its getting beyond boring now.

Calvin had a huge crowd down to the fact he was up against shite on the other stages.

Sam Smith's crowd was absolutely enormous on Sunday.

[Doug85]

about 10 mins before sam smith was due on it was dead so i managed to get quite near the front then when he came on it was packed and when i watched it back on bbc the crowd was huge. i must have just had good timing to get so close.

He came on ten minutes early so think a lot of people rushed in and it was so full by the end, away back to the bar at the T Break.

Duke Dumont was another huge crowd, Slam Tent closed at 1.30pm is pretty good going.

[BigalSlo]

The crowd for Calvin Harris was huge but Sat was a sell out. Friday and Sunday were noticably quieter.

Ella Eyre had a disapointing crowd. Clean Bandit had decent a crowd as did Example. It was busy for Sam Smith.

Elie Goulding was rammed as was Rudimental.

[hamishrankin]

I left Franz Ferdinand early to try and get a half decent spot for Arctic Monkeys but found myself pretty far back, so the Monkeys for me attracted a big crowd but by the sound of things, disclosure was really busy. Pretty gutted I missed them, they were probably my second favourite act last year and at Leeds they are clashing with Blink 182 (my fave band) so unfortunately I won't be able to them there either, pretty disappointing.
