Jellyfish Festival has reinforced security and site access for its eighth edition to prevent the traffic congestion that Cullera faced during the end of July last year when Zevra Festival, a well-known urban music event, took place in the same venue. Participants previously expressed dissatisfaction with the delays, some waiting as long as three hours to reach the parking area. The high volume of vehicles aimed at the municipality often strained the roads and the town’s infrastructure. This year the organizers, in coordination with the Municipal Council and Levante-EMV from Grupo Prensa Ibérica, announced two improved parking access routes. These changes are designed to keep transportation flowing smoothly into the town and avoid the previous bottlenecks as the city’s population swells during festival days.
Vehicles entering the town from the southern corridor, via Favara, the A38, and the AP-7, are now directed to pass through Corbera streets, the Bega bridge, and the Sucre junction. For those approaching from the northern region, a detour is required at the Llaurador roundabout toward the ring road, then past the popular Sala Santy junction to reach Favara street and continue along the same route as before. All access points are clearly signposted to guide attendees efficiently. In addition, bracelet collection has been reorganized to streamline entry and reduce waiting times at the gates.
reinforced structures
Beyond traffic management, the festival has also strengthened its physical safety measures. After a tragic incident the previous year, when a young man lost his life and more than 40 people were injured when a dry storm hit several structures near the main stage and the large Medusa entrance, the organizers responded with a more robust safety system designed to withstand adverse weather conditions. The entrance area was redesigned for better stability, and large blocks bearing welcome messages were installed to prevent the structures from toppling in case of strong gusts. These measures aim to protect attendees while preserving the event’s energetic atmosphere.
On this occasion, the organizers positioned several large blocks with welcome signs to prevent the entrance structures from collapsing during weather events similar to last year, ensuring better safety for the crowd.
The second day
Following a day that showcased electronic music, headliners such as Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike, Quintino, Oliver Heldens, and Amélie Lens return to the stage today at the Medusa Festival. Around 300,000 attendees are expected to enjoy performances by DJs including Don Diablo, Brian van Andel, and W&W, among others, with the music continuing until seven in the morning. The schedule promises a mix of high-energy sets, immersive visuals, and a concert experience that draws fans from across the region and beyond. The event organizers emphasize safety, accessibility, and a smooth flow of people and vehicles as core pillars of the festival experience. Source reporting and updates have been provided by Levante-EMV communications and festival organizers to keep the public informed about access routes and security measures.
