Metro is obviously a lot closer, but still a trek to the centre unfortunately. In 2018 also was bus to Plaza de Colón https://madcoolfestival.es/en/news/transports-mad-cool-2018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFD Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 In this late flurry of information has anyone seen what time the wristband exchange and/or the gates open on Wednesday? We're "picking up" and can do without a long queue in the sun so willing to go up early to beat the queues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dales Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 There does seem to be a complete lack of info for those picking up wristbands at the festival. Sure, they were supposed to provide information “nearer the time” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerevans84 Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 On the way to the airport. Even after the complaining and non information, Im excited. Hope everyone has a good one. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately spotted someone saying that they changed it in 2019. Lots of people on Facebook very confused by where they stop too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dales Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 Good luck to everyone travelling. Had a smooth journey which was a relief after all the horror stories about airports. Plus found cider in skinny tins in local shops. Ladron De Manzanas, looks like inch’s. Can live in hope that they might have it a festival, warm beer is pants.

Cactusgirl Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 Fly out first thing tomorrow on Ryanair from Manchester. Cannot believe it has finally come around.

Dales Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 Has anyone had any luck finding out basic information like what time wristband collection opens? Or even the time gates open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about wristbands but the schedule on the app suggests gates open at 5pm, which is what I'd assume anyway tbf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. They just got back to me and confirmed you are right it’s gates at 5 and wrist band collection starts then. Hoping they open band collection early but at least have a time to work to.

becca_ Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 I saw on the English-speaking Mad Cool group that someone said Courteeners were replacing Stormzy... so I messaged them on Facebook and they said: Quote "Stay tuned for info in our social networks!!" I said "is that a yes?" and they've left me on read. Either their social media manager likes to play with people's emotions or there's potentially some new info.....

C_Elrik Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 Had both Sleep Token and Dinosaur Pile-Up on my list of bands to catch so thats a shame but just had a listen to Pinpilinpussies and Jardin De La Croix. Both sound right up my street and will catch them if I get the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomenicoZappala Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 I’m personally not massive on Stormzy anyway, but it’s absolutely ridiculous for a festival to lose a huge headliner and not say anything about it and just slyly push deftones up to headliner spot? It’s honestly just insulting to customers at this point! Feel sorry for anyone who might have had a day ticket for that day! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dales Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 “We have been working in the last hours to have” Well not working that hard to get that lot. Surely at this point throw the bands you do have some dosh to play longer sets or extra days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlierc Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 When they released stage times the other day I'm pretty sure I spotted Stormzy missing. Seems odd to at least not highlight it, mind, particular given Courteeners isn't exactly a like-for-like replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drums Please Fab Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 I received my wristband in the post and am now in Madrid ready to go. I just notice my wristband has no QR code, number, or bar code on it.....How do you top it up with cash for the festival? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
