And the artist with the sexiest festival voice is…wait–what? Who?

I dunno about you, but when I think of sexy voices, the names “Fred Durst” and “Limp Bizkit” do not come to mind. Yet SeatPick, the British ticket reseller, begs to differ thanks to their research. Using “science,” they’ve come up with this chart comparing vocal performances at festivals.

Incredibly, this is the second year in a row that Fred has finished on top. How? Because he has a mean vocal pitch of 96.5Hz, which is just 0.52% above the scientifically ideal male pitch of 96Hz.

Okay, what about the least sexiest voices when it comes to festival performances?
