how does the atmosphere vary between stages?

[lionking]

which has the best atmosphere? which are you most likely to get stuck in a massive mosh pit at? or does it just generally depend on the band?

Well mosh pits are more likely in the lock up, for obvious reasons.

I always find the lock up to have the best atmosphere. I find punk gigs always have the mosh pits and everything to keep everyone happy, but theres never many nob heads looking to hurt people.

Radio 1 tent is good as you get to see acts in a more closed atmosphere and when it's full it's amazing.

agree with the lock up comments. FR stage is always a bit quiet in the day, mostly full of people having a break and few hardcore fans. main stage varies through the day - I guess cause it has the most variable bands, but also gets more intense as the bands get bigger

Main Stage - Quiet during the day (as in your can get a good spot for most bands) stupidly crowded for the top 2

Radio1 - Love it since they changed it, so many places to chill out with and still be in a good spot, also good atmosphere down the front.

Lock Up - One big mosh

FR - Empty or busy, its that simple

Comedy - Always a spot to sit down at the back except for the headliner, if you dont come half hour before you wont get in.

Generally the atmosphere for all stages is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases.

Except maybe the Alternative Stage.

For the headliners the main stage atmosphere is amazing, but most of the time the radio 1 has the best atmostpher by a mile. FR tends to be empty or packed to annoyance and the lock up/dance has a decent atmosphere but doesn't tend to be as exciting as R1.

I thought FR was quite good, watched The XX and a couple other bands there. And despite the crowd being... limited it was always good.

Mainstage - Mostly pretty chilled, towards the evening te crowd start getting excited for headliners and gets pretty good

Radio1/NME - Again pretty chilled but has a lot of on the brink of becoming huge bands, and when they play it can have an amazing buzz about it

Lock-Up - Pretty crazy throughout the day, small crowded venue type atmosphere, perfect for a good mosh

FR - Like someone said, its either empty or busy lol

Alternative - Lots of people just sat with a beer chilling, then a massive crowd for the headliners
