Case Study of crowd management with young and family audience
Pascal Viot (Paléo Festival) & Jérôme Tréhorel (Festival Les Vieilles Charrues) 17th YES Group Health 6 Safety Seminar - Groningen
Stromae during Festivals season 2014 A special case study
« Artist of the year » for french speaking spectators in Europe
Sold-out 2014 tour in France, Belgium and Switzerland
At Paleo Festival: 38’000 tickets sold within 8 minutes for this day (festival record)
Matter of concern for the organisation of the festival and the media
NB: Difficulty to evaluate the scale and the risk probability -> number of children (at Paléo Festival = free under 12, Vieilles Charrues = free under 8).

Paléo Festival Stromae concert Friday 23th July
Stromae at Paléo FestivalDensity estimation and risk analysis
Paléo’s Expert group Report 2014 (dir. Michel Gisler)
ObservationsAll the festival-goers came to see Stromae. Up to 10:30pm, there were spectators everywhere in the festival site, the stalls were crowded and all sitting areas were occupied. Then, a never seen rush to the toilets has been noticed … … and the main stage attracted everybody. Everywhere else: desert zones.
Density estimation
