[christmetal]

exactly waht the title says
what is the biggest crowd you have ever played for?
mine was about 1000 people at a school event
it was pretty tight and everything went pretty well
what about you?

 

[thehangingmist]

i think maybe we have done this before. anyway i have played to a crowd of 1500+ more than a couple of times when i was in school

 

[christmetal]

thats tight
yea i didnt know if this was already done but oh well

 

[ManOnStreet]

I used to played at 5000 people around in a big Metal show at my hometown (VN) . That was the biggest i've played.

 

[fenderhutz]

I guess 1000+ college shows.

Wasn't really counting.

 

[Ryan L.]

I've played to crowds of over 6000 people a few different times.

 

[Bassman7PM]

My church holds about 3,500 and I play 3 back to back services making it around 10,000 each Sunday, does this count. Other than that the biggest I've played is about 12,000.

 

[CPplaysBASS]

Original band. Have done countless shows. Work our butts off in terms of marketing. Tight band (myspace link below if you're into "pop").

75 ppl at most, but 20-40 is more the norm ... frustrating at times, but still too passionate about it to stop. From talking to lots of other bands, the live scene in Toronto (Canada's largest city) is really at a low point unless you're a metal act. Even cover acts are noticing a change, losing out to bars holding "guitar hero" nights!

On topic:

#1: NYE 2000-2001, EPCOT, Main Stage, ~100,000 people....that was intense.



#2: A festival (I've now forgotten the name) in Paris, France; ~10,000 people, right outside this amazing cathedral.

 

[krovx]

avg 50-250

most: prob 5,000

 

[DanielleMuscato]

Not counting radio or TV audiences, church gigs, or sporting events, I'd say a few thousand.

 

[mimaz]

This one, several times. Unfortunately, the picture only shows a small fraction of the crowd!

 

[hey]

Mostly my band gets 75 people or so a gig. The most was 150-200, which was for a church fundraising event.

I would say the UK-LSU game last year. I think that was the most people ever in Commonwealth Stadium (I was in UK's marching band). But as far as a concert setting, Carnegie Hall my senior year of high school.
