Looks like news in the morning to tie in with a “Andalucia BIG” announcement.

That's only half the story.

Is that, "We continue working on Friday but tomorrow we bring you other good news"?

Suggesting that it's not the missing headliners.

Mad Cool moving to a new location, spun as good news?

They've been replying to people on twitter and facebook in the last couple of weeks saying it's the same location as before.

"We are delighted to announce that Mad Cool will now be located in Madrid, Colombia. Luckily QOTSA change of tour plans was to go from a European tour to a South American tour so they are still playing the festival. Told you! For anyone who have already booked accommodation and flights in Madrid, Spain, then ooooops lol. Love MC x"

I was meaning in a different part of Madrid potentially.

And there is a precedent.

Only in 2019 a big Spanish festival, Doctor Music, announced a couple of months before they were moving 200km from its planned location in a green field to a city space.

They replied this month to people saying it’ll be at "Madcool space in Valdebebas", so unless they waited months to reply to messages just to tell people the wrong info, I think we're safe 🙂

Someone on Reddit had the same reply:

I'm sure you are right of course and this puts it to bed : )

Worth pointing out, on other hand, that - in terms of the reliability of their words - only this week they were saying that a certain band is playing that we all know is not playing!

Which band?

There's a big difference between confirming the location, and the message about QOTSA. Moving location at this stage would be huge and there hasn't been any hint that it would happen. Actively telling people the location when it's going to move would just be bizarre - after all when your communication is so bad, why reply at all?

Bands cancel all the time, and the QOTSA message specifically addressed the rumours of them not playing by saying Mad Cool hadn't been told that by the band yet. I know we all joked about it, but that's definitely a more ambiguous "holding" message than the location ones.

The Smile & Crowded House.

You can try and dress it up all you like but the reality is that they knew and to deny what they knew was to lie.

It's on the Andalucia Big Festival Instagram story https://www.instagram.com/andaluciabig/

The earlier ones, where they said they were working on Friday 8th, but had some other good news, was on Mad Cool's instagram story. Hopefully the Mad Cool news isn't about Andalucia.

Think that‘s the case. Cross promotion. Maybe they have something big up their sleeve for Andalucia Big and want to shift tickets. RATM maybe?

[SweetJesus]

Could be RATM finally with tour announcement?

Someone on reddit posted that there’s one festival with RTJ, but no RATM in the lineup.

So if it’s true, it is Andalucia Big, with probably rest of the EU shows

A german ad campaign has been started (early?):

 

So 4 pm could indeed be the announcement of their tour including Andalucia BIG.

[49Lawson]

RATM confirmed for Andalucia Big.

Along with Glass Animals and a few more

Sorry for the double post but I’m a bit confused by this. They’ve just tweeted out that the Saturday of Andalcuia Big will be an event called Mad Cool Sunset? Or will this be an entirely separate thing? 

[WFD]

Also playing the Mad Cool site itself - but in September

[WFD]

Crossed posts - that "Mad Cool sunset" is in Madrid, not part of "Andalucia Big", entirely separate but same promoters
