What's shaping this score?
Relentless posting, reactions that don't talk back
What's Working
Instagram is where this festival lands hardest: it turns more of its reach into reactions than in the top 25% of Instagram accounts worldwide.
The feed never went quiet. During the PAW (peak attention window), Laneway posted 52 times a day on Instagram and 53 times a day on TikTok, meeting the live coverage benchmark on both platforms and keeping the audience in the moment all weekend.
Its posts caught more likes and shares across the run than three quarters of festivals worldwide, and among the three best in Australia at converting reach into reactions.
Video clips pulled in above-average views, and the reaction haul landed in the top 25% globally, so the content reached people and moved them to act.
