Electric ForestNo current official capacity is published. Wikipedia estimates 40,000-50,000 attended in 2025; 2026 was described as sold out.

How this was written: each line comes from a field both festivals have on record, and the source sits beside it. If either side has a blank, there is no line. Nothing here is a score, and nobody wins every row.
