Official word has come down that this year’s two-day crowd numbered around 40,000, up from the 37,000 at last year’s festival, but far below the 72,000 figure in 2005.

No details on how the 40,000 broke down over the two days, but the guess here is it was roughly 20,000 apiece Saturday and Sunday. One difference: Saturday’s crowd seemed more consistent throughout, where Sunday’s showed up later, much of it arriving in time to see Muse and Rage Against the Machine after nightfall.
