Fair enough, though I can’t as hotel and travel pre-paid and in any case they are saying I can’t have a refund as the window is already closed (they didn’t previously specify a closing date).

Anyway I hope everyone enjoys it.

 

That's fair. I was always worried that the festival would get cancelled if Covid was still impacting but thought sure a few days in Madrid wouldn't be a bad compromise. Hope you enjoy what you can.

Map is out. Timetable can’t be far behind…surely?

For anyone that has been before, what would be the walking distance/time between Stage 1 and Stage 3?

If you have a clear path about 5 minutes, but similarly to last time I went (2018) it looks like there is a sort of bottle neck around Stage 6 and the food stalls so you can encounter either a lot of people going against you or a big crowd of people to combat at busier times

No it's just a guess until the official timings come out.

Hi

Has anyone found a FAQ section. Been struggling to find anything with the boring stuff about you can and cant bring with you. Bag Size, Sun Cream, Sealed Water etc.

I would  have expected to find the boring stuff filed away somewhere on their website.

I know we haven’t even done this year’s festival yet, but I was talking to my friend the other day as we were trying to work out when Springsteen will be playing the UK.

We have a working theory that next year Mad Cool and Nos might end up being 4 days next year again, with Springsteen doing Nos on the Wednesday, Mad Cool on the Friday and then Hyde Park on the Sunday. The gap between May and June looks too big for him not to be doing the UK dates then, and the fact there’s a week off where these festivals normally happen lends itself to the idea he’s got something planned. The Hyde Park idea just came from the fact he’s in Germany over Glasto weekend and I think he’s more likely to play his own show there than anywhere else. 
 

(This is all of course if Mad Cool is even on next year, but we’ll see)

Hey friends. Got a ticket going for the Thursday which I will sell for a super low price. Paid €75 for it but willing to let it go for 30. If you guys are interested or know anyone let me know.

Thanks!

Probably still trying to squeeze QOTSA in somewhere.

Well I was sent completely the wrong order and they are a bloody nightmare to get in touch with to get it sorted.

They seem to be most active on Instagram. Might be worth DMing them on there?

Not the final line up i guess

I wonder what other changes they have known about but are hiding from us...

Maybe some? Maybe none? Who knows! Maybe @Ken19 does? He has not replied to that comment.

However there were drop outs at Glasto because of Covid and that may well also be the case for Mad Cool

Lets face facts  -  if anyone doesn't turn up  -  it will be blamed on Covid!

Only 2 bands cancelled Glastonbury due to Covid and there are vastly more acts there than at Mad Cool.

Times are 'beginning' to appear on the website - about 5 so far. Progress I guess....

Understood, but my point remains, any band that pulls out will more than likely be blamed on covid and its always an issue for ANY festival that ANY band could pull out because of covid

Alt-J at 8 in the morning  LOL

[WFD]

A "check out the timetables" banner has appeared on the app so they are getting there (slowly).

[xxialac]

Are the times even right? Pixies and Alt-J at 8pm? Flume at 10pm?

For a festival that ran 5:00pm-5:00am last time I was there, surely there’s a possibility that these bands are on these times? Especially as the “main” headliners are usually on between 10-1

With that being said this is Mad Cool so I would definitely take all of these with a pinch of salt until they confirm them properly

Can't be bothered to spell the name of their artists properly, give up after a half-arsed uploading of a dozen of the timings on their website and yeah you're right Pixies could just about be on at 8 o'clock I suppose (but not at 08.00).

Yep, pinch of salt.

Alt-J are on around 2am (confirmed by the lead singer of Gurriers on FB as they are on at the same time closing Stage 6 - he also said that Zeal & Ardor & Paula Temple are on at this time) so yeah definitely take this random times above names (that are displayed as 'morning') with a pinch of salt.
