The Muse received the loudest applause from the audience at the Alive festival, followed by Nine Inch Nails and Jet, marking the three most applauded performances over the three-day event.
This information comes from the “entusiasmómetro” by NOS, a 5G sound analytics solution enhanced by artificial intelligence, developed by the telecommunications company, which measured real-time automated sound reactions of the audience at the NOS stage of the festival.
Olivia Rodrigo stood out for inducing the most screams: her concert was where fans screamed the most.
In the top scream rankings, according to a NOS statement delivered to Notícias ao Minuto this Thursday, July 17, performances by Mark Ambor and Benson Boone also featured prominently. Benson Boone achieved the highest audience engagement, followed by Noah Kahan and Olivia Rodrigo, all on the first day.
Justice, Muse, and Jet delivered performances that generated the most intense audience reactions over the three days.
Girl in Red’s fans sang along the most to her songs, followed by Benson Boone and Mark Ambor. The Wombats led in the category of whistles.
The “Entusiasmómetro”
Developed entirely by NOS Inovação, this solution allows for real-time and automated assessment of audience sound reactions at the NOS stage, providing results on tone and intensity variations.
Using artificial intelligence and 5G, various types of sounds (such as claps, screams, or whistles) were analyzed, captured through high-precision ultrasonic microphones by the startup Amago Audio.
The analytical data reflects the impact that music had on the audience, highlighting the connection artists established with their fans on stage and demonstrating the potential value data science can bring to evaluating major cultural events.
Muse Honor Diogo Jota
The Muse paid tribute during their concert at the Alive festival last Saturday to Portuguese international Diogo Jota, who died in a tragic road accident in early July.

The bassist of Muse, Chris Wolstenholme, wore the jersey used by forward Diogo Jota for the National Team during the band’s performance on the main stage at NOS Alive, which moved the audience.
