Edit- Though it does sound cool..

Really scared at the prospect of Bad Bunny filling one of those headliners slots on Friday...no, they can't f*** it up that way, isn't it?

Just put your headphones in  -  quality tunes BOTH ways for £70 LOL

Anyone reckon Dua Lipa will get announced, she's definitely big enough to headline now and she's free in July... Her set would bang to be fair.

BBK Lineup

What's the lineup overlap usually like with BBK and MC?

Would love Supergrass, Fontaines and working mens club. 

Got a feeling we might get Pet Shop Boys- saw both them and the Killers at Benicassim 2 years ago, both very boring. 

Though Glastonbury was a good set and PSB came on to play their best song!

I saw this quite cool idea really if you're not fussed about flight prices, would be a good experience.

 

Like many others i've already booked my flights and I couldn't really be bothered going to London from Manchester to Madrid.

Lewis Capaldi...could we will be seeing him announced as like a second line act? Has continued to get bigger and bigger since he played last year at a very early time. Has a gap between Manchester 8th July and Glasgow 12th July and been announced for Rock Wretcher

It's possible someone will come up with an example that contradicts this (I don't know of any) but I happen to know that a Mad Cool booker has previously told acts they won't be booked for the following year as they make a point of having no immediate repeats.

MC is now actively replying the comments about the Friday headliners in IG. One of the actual comments is "We are aware. The wait is going to be worth it". Seems like they might be close to signing someone. They would not say that if they were going to cover ir with a less relevant act, surely. Or would they?

Ended up leaving flight booking to now and when I did a quick check on Skyscanner, the cheapest return flight from London to madrid is now £166. 

SO we just booked this Mad Cool party flight one way, with the MADCOOL20 code we got a 10% discount to it worked out at £75.76 per person. I'm excited to see what the surprises are, I'll let you all know if it was worth it.

They would never comment 'don't get your hopes up, our Friday headliner is crap'  !

That's fair, but they have been replying "soon" for a month. If this turns out to be a crap booking seems like shooting themselves.

Nice one! I could never get that discount code to work and ended up booking Ryanair

They have not the smartest marketing team, isn't it? One of the most important things in this business is discretion, not saying a word until the announcement being made. If i was them, i would shut my mouth, create no expectations and let the announcement speak for itself.

Agreed, moreover because if the headliners they have found end up dropping out too, they will stop responding in social media just like last year and that's a shitty public image they project.

However, people are constantly demanding the headliners and I guess they need to calm things down to sell tickets.

They have not leaked anything as far as I know...

[sariris]

To be fair, they stopped replying to people when they apparently lost The Strokes and MCR (if that information was really true). They started replying again some weeks ago, so they might have something booked by now. But somebody said that they did the same thing last year when there was a missing headliner, so...

Being Mad Cool, we could expect anything.

It causes excitement for me  Hopefully won't be followed with disappointment.

I really hope they’re willing to break the bank (or get a repeat) on a huge artist rather than settling for a sub-par headliner.

RHCP just announced a festival in Greece with Nothing But thieves supporting. Adding to their European tour....

I still think it's bonkers they said they're not doing anymore European shows and everybody just accepted it haha.

 

Obviously they're going to say that.

This was announced back in November if you mean Ejekt festival 

[sariris]

And it's in June... they won't tour in July, guys. I wouldn't consider RHCP as a potential headliner for Mad Cool 😕

Money is no problem. Their reputation is the problem.
