What's shaping this score?

What's Working

People do not scroll past this festival. A bigger share of everyone who sees its posts stops to react than at 90% of festivals worldwide

This festival works on both platforms. Instagram lands in the top 10% against other Instagram accounts and TikTok in the top 25% against other TikTok accounts. Most festivals lean on one channel and let the other drift; this one does not

Read the comments and it is overwhelmingly people who had a good time, a warmer response than three quarters of festivals worldwide get

The feed never went quiet: a steady run of real-time content kept the audience in the moment all weekend
