sell-out crowds
des salles pleines à craquer


Explanation:
le terme à traduire est en fait "sell-out crowds";
"sell-out" est employé comme adjectif pour qualifier "crowds".
Si tous les billets sont vendus, la salle est "pleine à craquer".

"Midnights Friday and Saturday…Sell-out crowds…audiences go wild…madness takes its toll."
=
"... des salles pleines à craquer ..."

neutral  GILLES MEUNIER: Pop festival, çà implique des scènes en plein air alors salles pleines à craquer. Neutre par bénéfice du doute mais évidemment, certains spectacles se jouent en plein air.....C'est très possible que ce genre de représentation se joue en plein air...
