What's shaping this score?

What's Working

Its posts get a reaction. More people stop to like, comment or share than at three quarters of festivals worldwide. On Instagram that lands in the top half against other Instagram accounts; on TikTok it reaches the top 25% among TikTok accounts. Most festivals lean hard on one channel and let the other drift. Montreux Jazz does not.

Its posts caught more likes, comments and shares across the 16-day run than three quarters of festivals worldwide. No other Swiss festival comes close to this reaction haul.
Read the comments and it is overwhelmingly people who had a good time. The sentiment runs scorching, warmer than at three quarters of festivals worldwide and warmer than any other festival in Switzerland. Among Jazz festivals globally, only a handful match this tone.
