## What is Mela?

Official festival apps are slow, buggy, and never work. Mela works without wifi, covers every major festival, and keeps all your friends' plans in one place.

Curate Your Perfect Day
Mela's features allow you to seamlessly build your own schedule, compare with your friends, and receive alerts ahead of time, all without WiFi. No more sifting through hundreds of group chat messages sent trying to align schedules, simply friend them on Mela and everyone's schedules are at your fingertips.

Your Festival Community
See everyone's festival activities, all in one place. From upcoming festivals to day-of schedules to post-event recaps, Mela has it all. Festivals are better when everyone's on the same page (literally).

Discover Upcoming Festivals, All in One Place
Browse hundreds of festivals. Filter by location, music genre, dates, and find the perfect one for you. Gone are the days of asking that one friend or discovering festivals randomly on Instagram. Get recommended festivals and events based on artists you follow and have gone to in the past.

Keep Every Set, Forever
Build your personal festival archive and share with your friends. Scroll back through and remember exactly who you went with and how that sunrise set felt.

The app is so good! I love going to music festivals and it helps me find them, curate my schedule and share it with friends. Heck, it even has posts to see what’s going on the grounds 👀👀

### 5/5 — Coordinating with my friends just became so easy!

*2025-07-30*

I go to festivals for the music and for time with my friends, but the biggest pain point has always been coordinating our schedules. Mela has become the one stop shop for all things festivals from discovery to schedule coordination with friends to documenting your memories through the social page. I can’t wait to use it for upcoming festivals!

### 5/5 — exactly what i needed

*2025-07-14*

for a long time i’ve been a huge music lover and that’s meant going to the best festivals but it’s been so hard to get everything on the same page - what sets are my friends going to, which artist is on which stage, what’s my next set, where the festival physically). but this app actually does all of that and even more - it even lets me find new festivals

### 5/5 — What we needed for music festivals

*2025-07-14*

I’m a casual festival goer and find all the festivals hard to pick from. Once I have picked one, the logistics and planning with friends is difficult. Mela is a life saver across the board!! Excited to see what functionality gets added next!

### 5/5 — Best app for music festivals

*2025-07-04*

Music festivals are meant to be experienced with friends and a community vibe. Mela makes that possible and takes the experience to a higher level

### 5/5 — huge for my friend group

*2025-05-06*

scheduling feature is pretty nifty
