Mad Cool 2018

CHVRCHES please!

[big__phil]

If Hinds don't end up on this line-up they're really doing something wrong.

[zbo]

ok I’m done working for the day

[Float]

I take the hint  as 11 new acts to be announced at 3:30.

I assume most will be Spanish acts and probably announced all at once; could see Fever Ray or Friendly Fires added though!

[birchtree29]

We never got a hint and announcement on the same day. I think we will get the announcement tomorrow.

I'm sure we're getting today, otherwise why the 120 minutes countdown?

[birchtree29]

120 min x 11= 1320 min = 22 hours from that tweet which is 12:30 tomorrow Madrid time.

I like what you did there. Maybe you're right!

[Float]

If that's the case, then Lollapalooza Paris are also announcing something tomorrow. 

Maybe a wave of festivals getting the Smashing Pumpkins reunion due to be announced this week?...

Maybe it's because they want to announce today und didn't work on sundays. AM was announced on a monday too, without any announcement of the announcement.

The reason AM was announced on Monday was Arctic Monkeys wanted to announce their own tour first on their own website since they were ending a 4 year hiatus. Mad Cool made the announcement after AM did and they could’ve post a hint on sunday since Best Kept Secret and Opener posted a hint for AM on sunday. I guess they counted “0114” tweet that they have deleted before as a hint for AM. 

This is different since it is an announcement only for Mad Cool. They might share a big artist with other european festivals which they will all announce tomorrow.

Guess it will indeed be tomorrow at 11:30am GMT then.

Unfortunately you were right. Since Lolla Paris announces tomorrow, we might get some acts from there, too. But I thought there were only small names to comes...

They have been ruled out for at least a couple of months.

They will play at PS.

[arcuse]

Imagine if they could add Kraftwerk to this line up, not entirely sure if it's possible but they've been announcing a few shows here and there and there's no Spanish date yet. 

[Dom Wall]

Please be Moby..

[bluenova]

I wonder if the new tweet is a clue:

lyric from a Depeche Mode song: "But before you come to any conclusions..."

A clue about who?

[bluenova]

Now that would be too easy

I've no idea, but lets face it, in amongst the comments for the tweets/fb posts there is probably someone dismissing just about every possible band. Maybe it's one of them.

Or maybe the 120x11 wasn't tomorrow at 11.30.

Or maybe it's referring to people thinking that it meant 11 names in 2 hours.

Or maybe they're just messing with our heads.

[big__phil]

Some people suggesting more electronic acts, which would be nice. Anybody got anyone they'd particularly like to see? Considering they've had the likes of Moderat, Trentmoller, SBTRKT, Flume, Caribou and Digitalism over the past couple of years, hopefully we'll get some decent names added today. I'm hoping for a bit of Floating Points myself, seems to be doing a few festivals this summer. Bonobo would also go down well with a cold drink in the late afternoon sun.

I'd love to see Bonobo but he's already doing Sonar so I'd imagine it to be unlikely (like with Floating Points at Primavera). 

Paul Kalkbrenner could be added based on touring dates. I'd love Modeselektor but I'm sure they're already on Sonar bill too. 

[qwertycs123]

what.

[Float]

They've just posted ''#MadCool2018''

Are we still expecting acts in 30mins?

[with_tired_eyes]

Maybe it's a hint for Coolio.
