Mad Cool 2018

[The Martini Police]

New Arctic Monkeys album is being announced next Thursday. Consensus seems to be a late May release so should have plenty of time before Mad Cool

No Lazzaretto? 100% WTF

Jack White's festival setlists are always more towards top hits and shorter. It will be different than his regular concerts. He is headlining 10 festivals before Mad Cool, so we will have plenty of time to see what his exact setlist will be.

What if I told you he played 27 songs in Brooklyn... but none of them was Seven Nation Army?

OUCH! 

[ThisIsHappening]

The New York show was a super tiny warmup show for the tour. I’m sure he was testing out new stuff live and would be surprised if Seven Nation Army didn’t close out every show.

I'll have no complaints so long as we get Ball and Biscuit.

I was at the Garage last night. Amazing. Man's a genius. The new band is super tight (so was the last one, mind you) and the new tunes sound great (bonkers in places, but good bonkers). One minor drawback, too many guestlist industry types mooching about. Great show though. Roll on Mad Cool! 

Glad you managed to get a ticket - sounds awesome! Always worries me a little when people change their band for each album/tour so good to hear they're on point.

Gonna be ace, can't wait

Rock Werchter's set times are announced and we can get some predictions from it since most of the artists are similar. Rock Werchter's is between 13:00-01:00 and Mad Cool is between 17:00-05:00, so time slots will not be good for comparison but it shows which bands have more priority towards to play at peak times. Play times and time slots for most of the artists are:

Pearl Jam :120 min at 23:00

Queens of the Stone Age: 105 min at 21:30

Jack White: 90 min at 20:40

Arctic Monkeys: 90 min at 23:15

Nine Inch Nails: 75 min at 19:35

Jack Johnson: 75 min at 18:35

James Bay: 75 min at 20:30

Fleet Foxes: 70 min at 19:55

Post Malone: 60 min at 14:00

MGMT: 60 min at 17:55

Eels: 60 min at 17:25

Franz Ferdinand: 60 min at 21:15

Snow Patrol: 60 min at 19:15

Alice In Chains: 60 min at 17:40

At the Drive In: 60 min at 18:30

Ben Howard: 60 min at 20:15

Kaleo: 60 min at 15:45

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club: 60 min at 16:40

Gang of Youths: 50 min at 13:30

The Last Internationale: 45 min at 14:00

Rival Sons at 45 min at 13:00

Wolf Alice, The White Buffalo and Durand Jones and the Indications's time slots and play times are not given

[Joshua Homme]

Mad Cool concert times are actually from 18.00h to 04.30h.

I think durations will be quite similar to Werchers'. It seems QOTSA+NIN will do 1.30h each and quite possibly Pearl Jam 2.30h.

[TheBoz]

75 minutes seems excessive for James Bay in opinion. What's he going to do, play both his albums back to back?

[birchtree29]

Talent Show tweet is up. The winners of this competition will be the last additions of the festival

[TomViolence]

Hopefully Hinds sign up.

First drop out for us then. Don't know much about either band if I'm honest

[AndrewSmith]

Day tickets for Pearl Jam day sold out. I thought that had already happened?

They said they have very few tickets on March 21st. It took 15 days to sold out

Me neither. It was predicted on clashfinder that they were clashing with Jack White. Mad Cool also updated its poster. Wild Front is on the last line on Friday. https://madcoolfestival.es/en/index.php

Oh ffs, thought it was a song

Quite a quick turnaround then. Glad the album won't be that fresh when they play Mad Cool.

Haha, apologies for getting your hopes up. If it's any consolation, I reckon there's a solid 8 seconds of a song in there at the end. Sounds pretty tasty

3 Day and Thursday are both sold out on VIP and GA. Still (GA and VIP) tickets available for Friday and Saturday though Festiticket implies that they're very popular so I'm guessing the festival is near selling out. I'm also kinda surprised that it took that long to sell out for the Thursday, the day where Pearl Jam is playing at NOS Alive sold out the same day? I'm concerned for to many people in a too 'small' space.

Hello everyone, I created a setlist which includes most of the bands except the main ones. I used something called Setify so all the songs are from the latest concerts. Enjoy!
