How many musicians and concertgoers can fit on the Duffy's Tavern stage?

Universe Contest tested those confines on the final night of this year's Lincoln Calling. Packed into the corner were loads of lighting and sound equipment, the band's five shirtless members, videographers, "Glitter Babes" and whoever wanted to hop up, thanks to a fervent request during "Dying," the band's last song: "Get on the stage, get up here!"

A shower of balloons, feathers and glitter fell upon the part of the crowd that came early enough to garner a spot toward the front. Captured below on video is the final eyes-closed, throat-open, nearly-space-traveling set of the 10th annual Lincoln Calling festival.

Watch and get wild:
