Many larger venues (and almost all festivals) have a standing general admission section in front of the stage known as the “pit”. There are barricades erected some distance from the stage for the artists’ safety. Being at the barricade means being the closest to the stage, with no other attendees in front, thus having the supposed best view of the artist.
