she bangs the drums Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Its pretty obvious that at both Leeds and Reading the biggest crowd of the weekend will be for Muse but how do you think the other Headliners will fare? I was watching highlights from Oxygen and TITP and MCR didn't really get big crowds at either of these festivals, in fact Slash and Two Door Cinema club seemed to attract far bigger crowds, I know they are probably more suited to R&L but do you think they will draw in a big crowd? The opposition isn't the greatest in Beady Eye, personally I can see the Horrors easily filling the Festival Republic Tent. At Leeds you have Pulp v Janes Addiction v Bosstones, at first I though Janes Addiction may get a Faith No More sized crowd but a lots of the younger crowd don't seem too bothered about Pulp so I'm now thinking that at Leeds the Strokes will get the biggest crowd of the day on the Sunday. Obviously NME darlings the Vaccines and Ed Sheeran (who sounds a bit like James Blunt to me?) will draw in very big crowds and I think Madness will have the biggest crowd of the day time bands on the Main Stage, any others that could surprise?

Nialldotcom Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Madness and Enter Shikari will get the biggest midday crowds in my opinion. Then at Reading The Strokes and Muse will get the biggest headliner crowds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattl Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 The Offspring is my choice for largest crowd. Enter Shikari, Madness and Rise Against could also draw considerable sized crowds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtourette Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) The Offspring are up against The Vaccines so I don't think either band will get as big a crowd as they normally would. Edited August 9, 2011 by mrtourette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swede Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Can't see there being a huge crossover of fanbase with the two bands. The Vaccines will get a huge crowd no matter who they're up against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
