What's shaping this score?

Hot comments, cold reach, TikTok's only bright spot

What's Working

Read the comments and it is overwhelmingly people who had a good time, a warmer response than three quarters of festivals worldwide get. Its comments run warmer than at any other AEG festival.
TikTok is where this festival lands hardest: it turns more of its reach into reactions than in the top half of TikTok accounts, a rare strength on a platform where most festivals struggle.
Its posts caught more reactions than all but two Jazz festivals, a haul that matters because the total engagement volume sits middling across the board.
