What's shaping this score?

Video reach and reaction volume, sentiment still warming

What's Working

Instagram is where Laneway Adelaide dominates: the platform turns more of its reach into reactions than in the top 10% of Instagram accounts worldwide, a rare strength that sits well clear of most festivals.

Its posts caught a haul of likes and shares that landed ahead of three quarters of all festivals on the planet, and only two Australian festivals matched or exceeded that total reaction count.

The video travels far: its Reels and TikToks are watched well beyond the festival's own follower base, a signature of content that breaks through the noise.

The feed stayed alive all weekend: 81 posts during the PAW (peak attention window) across both platforms kept real-time coverage flowing, with 39 a day on Instagram and 42 a day on TikTok, both meeting the live coverage standard.

People stop and react when a post appears: engagement rate sits in the top half of festivals worldwide, driven by Instagram's exceptional performance among accounts on that platform.
