Dates, location & what to expect at Medusa 2026

Medusa Festival 2026 returns to Cullera Beach (Valencia) from 13 to 17 August 2026. Five days of electronic music by the Mediterranean, with daytime vibes and big nights.

The organisation centralises information on the official website and on Instagram.

My experience: when I attended, stage design and sound were on par with major European festivals. If you lock in logistics and rest times, the week flies by.

Official tickets & passes: prices, types and name change

Always buy through official channels:

• Medusa’s official website (from here you access the ticketing platform).
• Event page on Enterticket (Medusa 2026).

Common options: general pass, VIP, upgrades and camping/rest add‑ons (subject to availability). If you need to transfer a pass, check the name change option on the official ticketing platform—usually available until a few days before the festival and may include a handling fee.

Personal tip: buying early has given me the best prices and zero stress with tiered increases.

How to get there: shuttles, car, train & parking

The easiest way is to use the festival’s official buses: daily shuttles from nearby points (such as Gandía) and long‑route coaches from other cities. Exact stops and schedules are published on the website’s buses section closer to the dates.

Shuttles from Gandía: stops & indicative schedules

In recent editions, round‑trip shuttles ran in several time slots. My routine: check the night before, arrive early for the outbound ride and book a return that’s not right at closing to avoid queues.

Where to stay near Medusa: camping vs. hotels in Gandía/Cullera

Festival camping: what’s included & tips

The rest/camping area typically offers basics (showers, lockers, shade). Recommended checklist: earplugs, sleep mask, mat, power bank and a dust cover. If you value proper rest, go for a hotel.

Recommended hotels in Playa de Gandía (rest + connection)

Top recommendation: the best accommodation option is our Hotel Tres Anclas in Playa de Gandía, just a few kilometres from Cullera. It combines real rest (A/C, spa and pool) with quick access to the festival via shuttles and the nearby road connection.

Playa de Gandía is connected by shuttles, making it a very convenient base. Personally, when I want proper sleep, I book a hotel in Gandía: shower, A/C and hit the Main Stage fully recharged.

Lineup & stages: how to plan your days (to be updated)

The organisation announces lineup phases and daily schedules on the website and Instagram. Save the posts and build your own plan by styles: EDM, techno, hardstyle, trance and remember usually take turns across stages.

Personal trick: I leave gaps to discover surprise sets on secondary stages—some of my best finds have been at off‑hours.

Pro tips to enjoy it to the fullest

• Heat survival: sunscreen, cap, sunglasses, reusable bottle, comfortable footwear and a scarf for dust.
• Energy management: plan 2–3 shade breaks; hydrate and eat light.
• Payments & coverage: carry card and some cash; mobile data can get saturated.
• Venue orientation: arrive early on day one to locate toilets, water points and exits.
• Tickets: if plans change, check the official ticketing platform’s name change option and deadlines.
