Mad Cool 2018

[Gucci Piggy]

With the festival days finishing at almost 5am surely it won't be long until daytime travel is back running again? Could be wrong ofc.

Someone posted in here previously about a night bus route that goes from where the festival is. As it's moved to a new site this year, no-one is quite sure what the festival will be putting on in terms of transport, but I imagine as it has increased in capacity they won't just rely on everyone to get taxis back to the centre. 

Yep, I've seen that. I sure hope they do haha

Yeah but what if you wanna leave around 2/3 ish for example and you're stuck? Not that that's my plan, just a scenario.;

So there's no nearby campground type places or anything easy/cheap for festgoers?

I'll be alone with a backpack, so maybe I'll just throw some money at some other people taxi'ing back to town after. I don't want to get arrested for vagrancy!

[Gucci Piggy]

Bought tix tonight. Can't wait to finally see Pearl Jam.

[radioahed]

Also just bought my tickets. 

Did other people who used festicket get e-mail confirmation straight away? I'm still waiting. I have the downloadable docs with both tickets on. It would just be nice to have the confirmation

My mate had to wait quite a while for the email confirmation, he said.

I got mine straight away. It was under the "Promotions" section. Check out.

Bagged a ticket too. Whoops.

[chemica]

A person on the NOS Alive forum seems to suggest the January announcement for them is The Cure, who will headline 12th July.
Certainly fits the bill: European act.
Would be a strong co-headline, as I've seen them play 3 hour sets!!! Have to admit it doesn't fit the 2 E's clue, but maybe The Cure have both the E's and the other headliner has none!

 

I do appreciate they are meant to be BST European Exclusives though...

It's a troll account.

Don't know what his sources are, but the Cure clearly stated that their Hide park gig is the only european show for 2018. 

So probably no Cure for either NOS or MC

Hey guys silly question but does Mad Cool have camping available this year? And is it included in the ticket price?

No and No

[radioahed]

The confirmation came through 4 hours after so all good. 

Never done a European fest so cannot wait. 

[Superunknown]

Yeah came through about 12 hours after for me. First European fest as well and ticking off two of my bucket list bands, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains 

[SonicSleuth]

I think Mad Cool is gonna be packed with folks from North America - that lineup is just too good to turn away from. I cannot wait to make the trip! I wonder how the conflicts are going to work out with all this talent. Just a few bands I've seen before, or would like to see again:

Thursday: Pearl Jam, MGMT, Kasabian, Justice, Tame Impala

Friday: Franz Ferdinand, Snow Patrol, Alice in Chains, At the Drive-In, Massive Attack

Saturday: Queens of the Stone Age, Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, Portugal. The Man

Based on last year's Clashfinder for Mad Cool, it shouldn't be too hard to see a lot of top acts. I can't wait!

Does anyone know how much accommodation would roughly cost for the full festival for this? Looking to make this my first European fest next year but just trying to get a rough cost. I saw they had apartments available on their site, would this be the best option?

If you are using festicket try code - DEC20 for 20% discount (ticket only) 

Oh shit, was just valid till 09:00 GMT on Sunday 31st December...

So anyone an Idea what's the cheapest 3 day tickets now?

On the official MC page it says that the tickets for 175euro (Wristband shipping only peninsula). But for me a eticket would be enough, or should i take the ticket option for 180euro and they send it out of Spain?

Depends how many people you are going with. I've got a 4 person apartment booked near the centre for about £100 per person, but I've also got a 2 person place for more friends that is about £130 each. There are also plenty of hostels if you need a single space. 

[the wonderwhy]

Anyone know when prices are due to go up again?

January 8th at 23:59. Though this Bar Tool guy said that they might sell out before that. 

[berger55]

And what's de difference between the 3day tickets? Abono + envío pulsera península for 175.00 EUR and Abono + envío pulsera fuera península for 180.00 EUR because both are e-tickets, so they will not send the wristband. Or I am wrong? I think I have to collect the wristband with my eticket.
