Mad Cool Festival 2020

[Red Day]

Just now, mln said:

They are rumored to play RW, and Lollapalooza Paris and Stockholm as only festivals. Also, 10th July is likely to be their London show. 

Cheers for that.  Been a while since I saw the dates.  The guy who posted them on the 10 forum is normally bang on with his info as well and could explain why RW are holding off announcements

[yosoyyoberdi]

Very strong lineup, definitely the strongest in Europe right now. Don't wanna get my hopes high but The Strokes on Friday would seal the deal for me. 

[DarthSaul]

Weren't My Chemical Romance rumoured for this? Maybe on that Friday and no Euro dates yet hence not been announced? 

[pryce]

worst case would be Post Malone for that friday

[robmongascy]

Yeah dream scenario for me would be The Strokes and MCR on the Friday

Would be the Friday with no co/headliner yet.

Also just cause you've heard a rumour doesn't mean it's defo happening

I heard this from someone who told me they were reuniting the morning they did and that they would be hitting Europe between June and July. 
 

This isn’t word of mouth.

i might have missed the discussion about this, but why is not pearl jam considered a big possibility here, but just for werchter?

they help a lot to sold out 2 years ago and it would make sense to wait for their announcement. they are also out for pretty much any other festival in spain, as benicassim and bbk announced their headliners. 

That's mostly why there hasn't been much discussion. They could do it, but it seems MC isn't big on repeating headliners. Plus we now know there will be two headliners on Friday which makes them even less likely I believe.

HAIM put a photo on their Insta stories saying The Strokes are doing the Friday.

Bit unconventional but I'm guessing that confirms their presence?

WHAT. A. LINEUP.

[clasher]

It's taken down already. They wouldn't post a fake poster, so that must be it.  I also imagine it can't be too far from the announcement.

We're actually getting the Strokes, aren't we? Fuck me.

[charlierc]

Well it did say "DRAFT" all over it and I presume as they hadn't been announced yet that somebody's had a word with them to say "take this down".

But yeah it looks likelier than not they're going to be a part of this bill.

[RarerThanDandyB]

Could Pearl Jam fit on the Strokes day? They are around on the dates and isn't another Spanish festival they could realistically do.

i agree.

theres no dot after their name which means only one headliner. we all know thats not the case anymore.

 

i guess they pulled out and two artists replace them.

[Slix_Trix]

The lack of the dot does raise suspicion...but then again it is just a bloody dot that could always been there for decoy purposes.....then again why put the dot there in the first place if you dont want to raise peoples hopes for two headliners.....then again Mad Cool loves a swerve...too many questions...

Just gimmi the God damn Strokes!

If its a thing where they were lined up but pulled out, you can be sure that Primavera made a much more appealing offer. As much as I love The Strokes, their services aren't easy to lock in unless the price is right for them.

[clasher]

A long time ago in a country far, far away a dot appeared on the poster. It was indeed a new hope of us getting two headliners. We waited and finally got Jack White, but wait, the dot was gone! We had a bad feeling about it. Oh the cruel revenge of our high expectations. A period of despair, meditation and intense questioning followed. Little did we know that Mad Cool has secretly begun assembling a new lineup, even stronger than the year before. We found out soon enough as the Arctic Monkeys were eventually announced in what we now commonly call The Return of the Dot. The balance was restored.

We are getting another headliner for Friday.

[OnlyRevolutions]

MCR were rumoured for this weren't they? could they be the final headliner, co-headlining with The Strokes?

[Ken19]

For the last time. On the big European main stream festivals (not uk) is MCR not a headliner.

Last night, I heard from someone on another board that MCR is playing this. Headlining to be confirmed tho but as you say, I don't think they will.

Do we 100% know that Pearl Jam are in Europe in 2020?
