How the chart works

Billing10A headline slot. Second line 5, main stage 3, other stages 1.
Festival weight2.9About 90,000 a day. A 10,000 festival weighs 1.
Points29For one booking. An act’s score adds up all its bookings.

Every line-up carries a source: confirmed by the festival, or estimated by us from the poster or an announcement. How we read line-ups and score them

Paste your running order, upload your spreadsheet or just send the poster. It takes a few minutes, needs no account, and line-ups the festival confirms count for more than our estimates.
