What's shaping this score?
Strong on both platforms, comments cut deep
What's Working
The Great Escape works on both Instagram and TikTok. Instagram lands in the top half against other Instagram accounts and TikTok in the top half against other TikTok accounts. Most festivals lean on one channel and let the other drift; this one does not.
This crowd talks. Comments make up more of its total reaction than at almost any festival in the world, so the fans who engage are not just tapping like and moving on.
People stop and react when a post appears at a middling rate on both platforms, which is respectable given the volume of content moving through the feed.
