How were the crowds last year? Expectations this year?

Just curious about what to expect of the crowds at the festival this year based on people's experience last year, plus obvious growth due to headliners and size.

My girlfriend and I usually hit up Coachella plus a few small festivals up here in the NW, so it'll be cool to compare the vibes of the crowd. How music centric will the crowd be? Aside from Skrillex, who I actually don't mind live, and A-Trak, who I love, the Vegas style DJ acts are surprisingly few and far between, but I don't know how that'll play down there.

Regardless, just wanted to get some convo going here since we're less than a month away.

Sad to see this sub seems kinda dead, but I went last year and the crowds were pretty good overall. Zedd and Pretty Lights were both pretty fuckin' great. The vibe during both days was great, but I haven't been to any other big festivals besides a couple Extreme Things.

This year I'm super hyped to see The Arctic Monkeys, Skrillex, and Outkast.

Yeah, was hoping we'd see more activity this close to the event. I'm amped to see Outkast again (I had a great time seeing them @ Coachella, even w/ the flaws), Kanye, A-Trak, Monkeys & the Weeknd.

I'm also excited to check out Lionel Richie, who I think is a cool booking for the festival.

I haven't ever really listened to Lionel Richie, but I think I'm still gonna try to see him. I'm really looking forward to A-Trak as well, hope he plays some Duck Sauce stuff.

The crowd is pretty chill. It doesn't get as crazy as Coachella. There are usually after parties at the nearby hotels.

How hard is it to get from one stage to another? The two bigger stages (Downtown & Ambassador) are, what seems, pretty far apart.

I wouldn't say it's hard, but it is a walk... especially going back and forth from The Ambassador Stage and The Downtown Stage.
