13 reason's why M'era Luna's better than Glastonbury


  1. Flushing Toilets
  2. Cheaper: Glastonbury 2016 £229 (3 days), M'era Luna 2016 €94 (2 days)
  3. Contemporary music.  Not just loads of has-beens pumping out the music that was great 20 years ago but less so now, and also the musicians themselves have lost the edge somewhat.
  4. Better music.  OK this is obviously subjective, but I prefer the Mera Luna music.
  5. Age diversity.  The full spectrum of ages attend, participate and enjoy it: 16-70.  (OK M'era Luna probably fails on all other types of diversity.)
  6. Groups not couples.  Groups of friends can no longer attend Glastonbury tickets are sold in pairs and are basically a lottery, so only a few of a group of friends can attend.  Everyone walks around Glasto in pairs not groups :-(
  7. Clothing.  EVERYONE makes an effort at M'era Luna.
  8. Showers.  Yup Showers at M'era Luna
  9. M'era Luna timetable published on your app weeks before the event, so you can plan it.
  10. All acts start and stop on time.  So you can watch, and plan to watch two favourite bands that are on back to back on different stages.
  11. Only 2 stages, right next to eachother, so no hours of traipsing through the mud against the flow of people to the next venue.
  12. One of the stages is inside an old aircraft hangar.  Dry if it rains and atmospheric during the day.
  13. No Litter.  €1 deposit on drinks containers. €5 deposit on an empty camping bin.
  14. Everyone's lovely.  Well that's true of Glastonbury too though :-)
