New Zealand's engagement leader, Instagram dominates

What's Working

People stop and react to Laneway's posts at a rate that outpaces three quarters of festivals worldwide. On Instagram the rate climbs into the top 10% of all accounts on the platform, a rare threshold for any festival at scale.

Its posts caught more likes and shares across the run than three quarters of festivals worldwide, with Instagram delivering the biggest reaction haul.

The feed never went quiet: a steady run of real-time content kept the audience in the moment all weekend, posting 52 times a day on Instagram and 53 times a day on TikTok during the PAW (peak attention window), both well above the live coverage benchmark of 25 to 50 posts per day on each platform.

Video reach sits above average, meaning the clips travel further than most festivals can manage.

No other TEG festival turns as much of its reach into reactions, and its comments run warmer than any other TEG festival, a genuine point of difference in how the audience speaks about the event.
