Tips for Medusa Festival 2026
- ✓Medusa combines daytime and night-time music; manage your rest hours carefully to last the full duration of the festival.
- ✓SPF 50+ sunscreen and a cap are essential for the daytime stages in full sun on the Mediterranean beach.
- ✓Staying hydrated is critical: continuous dancing and the Valencian summer heat cause dehydration that is not always immediately obvious.
- ✓Wear soled shoes to move around the sand and bring earplugs if you want to protect your hearing at the loudest stages.
- ✓The sea breeze can cool things down in the early hours; bring extra clothing even if the day is very hot.
- ✓Keep your valuables in a bum bag or secure bag; electronic festivals with large crowds require extra care.
- ✓Check the official Medusa app or website for artist times and stage layouts.
- ✓If you are camping, set up your tent as early as possible on arrival; shaded spots go quickly.
