The Medusa Festival in Cullera has announced the construction of an unprecedented main stage in the form of a 17th-century pirate galleon, which will be 24 meters tall and Venetian-inspired.

This summer, Cullera will once again become the epicenter of electronic music with a scenographic proposal that borders on the cinematic. The Medusa Festival has revealed that its main stage will be a 3D replica of a Venetian-inspired corsair ship, erected directly on the beach.
The structure, never before seen in the national festival circuit, will be 18 meters wide and 24 meters high, equivalent to a seven-story building. Its scale will be close to 50% of the actual size of these historic vessels.
One of the most striking elements will be the location of the DJ booth, installed at the ship's waterline. Behind them, a huge LED screen will recreate waves breaking against the hull, generating the sensation that the galleon is sailing in the middle of the festival. Lighting will sweep across decks and masts with moving lights and visual effects designed to enhance the immersive experience, a hallmark of the festival.
The project, led by creative director Ado García, began with the study of dozens of historical models of 17th and 18th-century pirate, buccaneer, and corsair ships. Finally, the chosen design is inspired by a Venetian-style galleon with two masts and a sterncastle. The structure will be made with a steel frame and wood, cork, and fabric coverings, reaching a total weight of 16,000 kilograms. Construction will begin in June.
This stage will be one of the main attractions of the twelfth edition of Medusa, which will be held from August 13 to 17 at its usual location on Cullera beach. The galleon will be part of a set of eight simultaneous stages, all designed as distinct fantasy worlds. The festival will bring together some 150 DJs from genres such as EDM, techno, hard techno, hardstyle, trance, remember, house, and urban, with international names like Tiësto, Steve Aoki, Carl Cox, Dimitri Vegas, Marco Carola, and Timmy Trumpet, among many others.
Since 2014, Medusa has been committed to transforming each edition into a distinct visual experience, with stages that have included Egyptian pyramids, jungles, oriental temples, and futuristic cities. Its scenographic proposal was recently recognized at the Iberian Festival Awards, considered the “Oscars” of festivals.
The ship-stage will not debut directly in Cullera. Before that, it can be seen at the Zevra Festival, also promoted by the same organization, from July 14 to 17, with a lineup focused on young audiences and reggaeton and urban music artists. Cullera is already preparing for its annual transformation: this summer, the beach will not only have music but its own ocean of fantasy.
