What's Working
Forbidden Forest works on both platforms. Instagram lands in the bottom half against other Instagram accounts and TikTok in the top half against other TikTok accounts. Most festivals lean on one channel and let the other drift; this one does not.
The content travels by hand. Fans send these posts to friends more than at almost any festival in the world, which is reach Forbidden Forest never had to pay for.
Its Reels and TikToks pull middling video views, and the total reaction haul sits middling across both platforms. Against other UK electronic festivals, the engagement volume ranks fifth, a solid position in a competitive space.
People stop and react at a middling rate overall. On TikTok the rate sits above average among TikTok accounts, a real strength on a platform where most festivals underperform.
