At The Drive-In

[thetime]

I think it'll be smaller than FNM. FNM had a smaller crowd because they weren't announced until it had long sold out. ATD-I were never popular, not really. So the reunuon buzz is big for the few that care, but I think they'll have an issue drawing a crowd other than a thin Dinosaur Jr size crowd. Maybe not even that becuase Dino Jr were mid afternoon, this is a headline slot.

But its not like there up against the foo fighters, there up against the weakest if the headliners.

Saying that I agree with you they will get a smallish crowd, they were not very big to start with, did they ever player higher than 3rd stage at reading?

Also you got to put ticket sales as a factor aswel, this year will be the lowest for some time. So the percentages to see them will be lower aswel, I've not looked who they clash with for fr stage and lock up.

Won't they be clashing with that late night Bassnectar DJ set instead of Feeder?

The way I am looking at it is that the tent has a capacity of 18-20,000. If the tent were to be full that's pretty much the same as filling the o2. I can see a few people going on a whim but to fill the tent to capacity would be going some.

[mrtourette]

I wouldn't say that's the same thing as plenty of acts who can't fill the o2 have filled the tent before.

Danananananaykroyd packed out the tent in 2009. They were fantastic. But I think it was because of the rain ha

[Likelylad87]

Fair enough, I guess if you have a group of about 10 and 1 or 2 of them want to see a band in the tent and there is nothing else on for the others then they would all go to the tent and make up the numbers easily helping to fill it up.

I'd imagine Feeder will play somrthing like 9.30-10.30 and bassnectar 10.45-11.30, or something like that. I can't see them having live music officially scheduled for after 11.30.

[Vieuphoria]

especially only on one day. Would be a bit odd.

Also it makes zero sense having Bassnectar headline the day of the Dance Arena. Why not just book him to play the dance tent?

[jonodillieono]

I want to see both Feeder and At The Drive-in.

Do you think it would be possible to see both full sets if I sprint over after Feeder?

[mrtourette]

I don't, but I'm assuming ATDI will get 90 mins and Feeder will finish about 10.30. There's a good chance that assumption is wrong though as the whole "Feeder are headlining but Bassnectar is closing the tent" thing hasn't been done for a while and it's hard to predict the timings.

[Vieuphoria]

90 mins? Has any NME headliner gotten that before? Even FNM on got 75 didn't they?

[mrtourette]

Last year.

[jonodillieono]

I was thinking ATDI might only get an hour tbh
