What's shaping this score?

High-engagement reach, but sentiment needs work

What's Working

People stop and react when Fly Open Air posts appear. More of the people who see the content engage with it than at three quarters of festivals worldwide, and this holds true on both Instagram and TikTok, each measured against accounts on its own platform.
Fly Open Air performs at a similar level on both Instagram and TikTok. Most festivals lean heavily on one channel and let the other drift; this one maintains strength across both, with Instagram landing in the top 25% among Instagram accounts and TikTok in the top 25% among TikTok accounts.
The reactions pour in, but almost all are likes. Comments make up a far larger share of the total engagement than at almost any festival in the world, which means the fans who do engage are stopping to write, not just tapping like and scrolling past.
Its posts travel by hand. Fans send these clips to friends more than at almost any festival in the world, which is reach the festival never had to pay for and algorithms never had to amplify.
The video carries reach. Its Reels and TikToks pull in views above the level most festivals achieve, and that reach converts into reactions at a rate among the very best in the United Kingdom.
