Mad Cool Festival 2020

Any one book with Iberia/Easyjet? Booked Iberia there, and Easyjet back from Bilbao as I was hoping to travel there after the fest.

Regarding Ryanair, I contacted them for a refund (different flight, unrelated trip) a while back, they said they issued it but I have yet to receive it (Applied on 15/03). Pretty rubbish tbh.

Booked both ways with Iberia. Currently  can only get vouchers from them and if you're flights before June 30 so just a waiting game I guess

You can now also request a refund. That requires a phone call, expensive one I imagine. But that applies to cancelled flights, my return leg hasn't yet been. So you're right about the waiting game.

Gorillaz and Tame Impala at Primavera next year. Oh god please let it happen.

reading the statement mad cool put out again it really gives the indication they are going ahead next year. Here’s hoping for a lineup announcement sooner rather than later

That PS lineup is stacked. Hopefully an indication that next year's festivals are in for a treat across the board. PS got some great names there. Hopefully considering the circumstances, next year they can share a few of those great names.

Twenty One Pilots announced their first EU show for next July. Looks like they’ll be back. Looking at other Rescheduled bands we might have :

Twenty One Pilots, Foals, The Killers, Faith No More, Kings Of Leon, Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes

Nine Inch Nails are apparently touring from early- mid June. Trent visually enjoyed himself last time they played and said it was beyond what he expected. Be good to have them back if their tour goes on that long.

Any idea when they will start refunding ? Am I right to assume they have 14 days to refund from when it was supposed to be on?

Booked with Iberia - flight was cancelled last Monday. Called them for refund, 3 minute wait time, money in my bank today 👏🏼👏🏼

Did you get an email to say the flight has been cancelled? I've just tied to get a refund now and they say they wont give it to me yet as the flight (on 8th July) has not yet been cancelled, even though it doesn't show up on their website as a flight I can book.

[clasher]

I phoned Iberia too, cancelled the flights, buy they told me it could take a month or more to process the refund request and that I'll only be notified once they have processed it. 

[robmongascy]

For those of you that got Airbnb’s they extended their extenuating circumstances policy yesterday to refund bookings made before March 14th for check-in before July 15th. Sent off my cancellation request yesterday, accepted in a few hours and money in the bank today

My plane to Madrid is not canceled and as I know Spain open borders on 1 July, so if nothing will be changed, I will fly, unfortunately, Madrid is a little bit boring for 6 days I think

lol I am still waiting for a refund of a flight cancelled in early March from Alitalia, good for you!

They still sell tickets to this years festival. Weird.

[Swaydeto]

I’m wondering about when they will start issuing refunds!

I think officially the festival is still on, so you'll need to wait a bit more.

Spain's government have just approved a 2 week extension to their state of emergency (till 21st June), which they said is going to the last one. I have a feeling they may wait till this ends before announcing anything.

Mad Cool 2021 will take place on July 7,8,9 & 10^th in Madrid.

Same. I think it’s pretty disgusting that MC have said nothing for over a month. 
I’ve seen a few people on twitter who were intending to keep their ticket are now changing their minds. The whole thing seems so badly organised and dodgy. I just want my money back 😫

Anyone know if there will be any refund implications for British people who were planning to travel? I'm slightly worried now as we are technically allowed to fly over to Madrid with no quarantine period and feel they may use this as a method to withhold any funds. Obviously there is no chance that I am travelling abroad this year so that is no option.

I'm the same, highly doubt our flight will be cancelled now but definitely don't want to travel... travel insurance wont cover if i choose not to take the flight, BA may allow me to change flight dates but unsure if i can attend next year! 

[qz3]

Flights also started from my city to Madrid, so don't know what to do, Madrid is a little boring for 6 days without a festival

And I'm already have tickets for 2021, have to hope that festival will not be canceled
