a large chunk of the trespass venues were in the 5,000-7,000 range. only a handful were over 10,000 (which doesnt necessarily mean that many people were there, not to mention some of them could have been half arena). they also downgraded the mass show from the centrum (15,000) to house of blues (2,500), which was the second time in a row 5FDP had to downgrade a mass show (time before was lowell to the palladium).

second billed on mayhem i could see, but i doubt top.

That tour with KSE/Trivium was at the House of Blues and wasn't even sold out. And their 2011 tour with Hatebreed was in West Buttfuck, Maine in the middle of nowhere.

Their only arena show here was in 2010, and that was only because they were opening for Godsmack.

lewiston is hardly the middle of nowhere. the hatebreed tour went to the palladium.

Either way, not an arena.

Had to have been a half house show. There's no way in hell FFDP can draw close to 20K.

They played a huge arena here. I am just saying they are bigger than the Deftones and have alot of fans. At ROTR all I saw was FFDP shirts.

Middle of nowhere Maine would be Caribu not Lewiston >_>

Exactly and that draws over 70,000 people

Yeah, and Deftones played a venue with ~1500 capacity a couple months back.

FFDP is for sure more popular.

5FDP is more popular but do not deserve to headline over Deftones imo. If those 3 bands are playing Deftones lands in the Motorhead spot.
