Can it be the number of letters in headliners name and a letter that each headliner has?

edit: I wrote it without seeing the other posts. Yes it is definitely the date

Sort of rules out Muse, as they are probably announcing that Madrid date tomorrow.

They were always ruled out. It was always known they'd be doing their own thing

[arcuse]

I guess it's either gonna be The Cure or Mumford & Sons, I don't think Muse are necessarily ruled out by this. They're doing Werchter aswell so.

Uhmmmmm I don't think so. APE was more similar to Primavera last year.

Did I miss something ? We know that Muse will play in Madrid, with Live Nation, but there's no official statement or hint at an own show, just rumours...No ?

H D M - firs letters in each headliners name?

Tbh I don't think so. It's just hora (hour), dia (day) e mês (month)

Oh shit that makes a lot more sense. Remind me not to become a detective

They announced the show as something people could get presale codes, so it's their own solo show.

+ They were announced for Werchter and Bergen wasn't in the list. Festivals are out of the list they published.

Primavera and All Points East naturally share a lot because they are close together but there is a large overlap between bands for All Points East (and Primavera) and Mad Cool. For instance, Bon Iver and The Strokes are rumoured for All Points East and have been widely suggested for Mad Cool. 

The announcements could quite easily not be connected at all actually, but it's possible if it's a band doing a big announcement day like some of them do.

Just a question.i remember Mad Cool doing multiple artist announcements at once. Do they usually do that with the first confirmation or did they only confirm one headlining artist as their first confirmation last year?

Last year they announced each artist a day  between Nov 6 to Nov 24 and then multiple artists on one day in december, january and february.  It might be similar this year

oh nice, thanks!!

This festival was a shambles last year. Regardless of the line up I hope people go to a more organised festival. The festival does not deserve your time or money.

I'm willing to bet APE is going to come with Bon Iver and a bunch of smaller acts like they did last year when they announced The XX.

They also announced Bjork and LCD Soundsystem in the first batch, all of them headlined that first edition.

You see, I immediately wrote off ever going after the tales from this year but it's hard to believe they wouldn't have put effort into improving it for next year. and they've said as much as well. Live Nation might cut massive corners here and there but they're the biggest live events corp for a reason and they'll be putting work into the future of this event.

Nah you're both wrong-zo. The xx, The National and The National's main support acts were announced first, then the poster there was released a week later announcing the main attractions of the festival.

Fair point, but some things were just off - it was soulless, in the middle of nowhere and had some strange practices, one day you could bring bottles in, the next you couldn't.

I would really recommend people to head to another Spanish festival that I've heard many good things about such as Primavera.

I had an enjoyable time last year due to the sheer quantity of acts, but it was a really poorly organised mess.

It was a shambles from start to finish. 4 hour queues on the first day in 30 degree heat and then 45 minute queues at the majority of bars inside. This is something that would annoy most festival fans, not just a "posh totty". 

Used to do Leeds every year - 7 in a row - and ive never seen a fuck up as big as Mad Cool put on.

Should have seen Queens at Finsbury park. It was over an hour for the water tap and 90 minutes to the bars. 

The queues at the bar were only on the first day though? The systems crashed across the site to took a while to get everyone served. Don't think I queued more than 10 minutes for a drink on the Friday or Saturday.

Sounds horrendous. Not acceptable for the money people pay to attend such events.

Yeh things did admittedly improve, but we were still queuing a stupid amount of time for a drink on the last night. It wasn't as if we stuck to one bar either. Maybe we just had bad luck with our timings, but for me it was still a complete shit storm on the final night, albeit a slightly improved shit storm.

[dentalplan]

Can't believe it was actually an announcement of an announcement by the way. What a load!

Deffo not posh. And I wouldn't be seen dead at R+L with their recent line up choices. Yes of course you go to a festival for the line up, but I just found Mad Cool a bit off personally, what might not have fucked you off, fucked other people off.
