What's shaping this score?

Biggest reaction haul in Belgium, comments still quiet

What's Working

Its posts caught more reactions than any other festival in Belgium, and more than any other Alternative festival on the planet. The haul sits in the top 10% of festivals worldwide.

Its video reaches audience sizes only a handful of festivals anywhere ever achieve. The Reels and TikToks travel far.

People stop and react when a Les Ardentes post appears. The engagement rate lands in the top 25% worldwide, and the split across platforms is rare: Instagram hits the top 25% among Instagram accounts while TikTok hits the top 10% among TikTok accounts. Most festivals lean hard on one channel and let the other drift; this one does not.

The feed stayed live all weekend. During the PAW (peak attention window), Les Ardentes posted 26 times a day on Instagram and 37 times a day on TikTok, keeping the audience in the moment without going quiet.

People are saving these posts. The save rate sits among the highest in the world, and people only save what they plan to return to.
