Rumour in the berlin lollapalooza forum is that eminem will announce dates on 17 feb. Something to do with that date being in the album booklet.

Don't expect him to play in July in Europe, probably sticking with August and maybe begin of September.

If be happy with a dance type joint headliner such as chemical brothers

They played last year! They were really good though! Can't see Mad Cool booking them again.

I Uber’d to and from every night last year at differing times and never had an issue, the Ubers pick up and drop off in specific areas if I remember correctly.

We stayed in the centre of Madrid and I think it was around 40 euros there and back each night.

Ya I did the same 35 40 was really good pick up point and drop off, going this year but staying closer to the airport

Oh ya and the free popcorn going home forgot about that

Hi all,

First time attendee of mad cool and can't wait. 

Currently looking at where to stay and have found a hotel in Barajas, 

How easy will it be to get to and from the festival from there?

Depends on where in Barajas you are staying. It's probably only a few km away, but a walk can be a little bit tricky due to the highways.

Hi people, I am trying to buy my four day ticket through the Spanish website and struggling a little bit/a bit anxious about getting it right or it not arriving. I keep bugging my Italian housemate for translations and think I’m just about there but wanted to check that those who have bought a ticket have had it safely arrive and in their hands? I’m just worried about paying 195 euros and something going wrong...thanks in advance!

I thought the 4-day tickets were sold out already.

I think you can buy the ‘npac Four day ticket’ but it’s through a Spanish website so it’s a bit tricky. I’m just trying to figure it out

Fnac sorry

I bought 4 day passes from the mad cool site through FNAC yesterday. You can translate into English on the whole. But the country you need to choose for your address is Reino Unido (someone on here told me as I couldn't work it out).

Thank you cactus girl! Did you pay for the ticket etc to be delivered to you in the UK or did you select to pick it up? I’m going for delivery? It’s 8 euros something which feels about right

You have to select for it to be delivered! If you select the pick it up option you will have to come to one of the Fnac stores in Spain to do so (in two weeks, or else they'll keep it and give your money back)

I stayed in Barajas last time (2018)- I am not sure if it will be the same but my hits was about a 50 min walk due to the highways. So we got a taxi -around 10 euros each way. When we came out of the festival we walked for about 5/10 mins along the highway in the opposite way to the advised way out of the festival - flagged down a taxi and got in - easy

does anyone have any inside info on when there’ll be another lineup announcement (I.e when friday headliners are announced + anymore acts for other days)??

[Damon]

What's Christine and the Queens doing?

I'd have them as a headliner, they look like they put on a super fun show!

Also new track is a banger.

Saw Chris live twice and their live show was absolutely mind-blowing. However and sadly, I don't think they're touring this year

There may be hope with the newly released track, also 070 Shake's diary is free over Mad Cool weekend.

That is honestly one of the worst line ups I have genuinely ever seen in my life. 😂

I believe that is the 'Strongbow Dark Fruits' dream festival
