User:Monxton/festival attendance
Collecting data about British festivals for Template:Major British Music Festivals.
Data is from referenced numbers in the festival's article, but watch out for inflated attendance figures achieved by multiplying the daily capacity by the number of days of operation.
See also Largest UK music festivals 2019 for the top six and Top 10 largest music festivals in the UK for a similar report from 2017.
The following table started from the list of festivals included in the template in December 2020. Additional major festivals were then added.
