Isn’t Mad Cool using also this place for their next edition? I’m quite curious to see how’s that going to work, maybe they will use Primavera’s mistakes and improve the site and the connection to the site.

However from dozens of people that I spoke in the festival, almost no one wants to comeback here to Arganda next year. 

i believe there has been a Stopmadcool23 account or hashtag on twitter for a while

Different place, much closer to the center. Hopefully they still learn from PS mistakes though, especially rain wise. The site is still under construction.

Yes. I think they announced that in every stage. But didn't mention any city, only it's a exclusive for Santander Bank.

Despite Thursday and Death Grips, talking about music, the festival was great. No issues, loud and clear, saw good acts and another DM gig with an audience for that.

Went early and leave early both days, but I have friends that stayed 2 hours in a line for the shuttles too. For me it's the last, next time a small fest and inside the city.

My top 10 from the best 

Swans

Depeche Mode

My Morning Jacket

Nation of Language 

Pet Shop Boys

Wednesday

Gabriels

Julia Holter

St. Vincent

Crack Cloud

 

 

[joselito]

Now expect some Thursday bands come to São Paulo like Sparks, Blur, Le tigre, Darkside, etc. Didn't go to Comet is Coming gig 3 weeks ago to see them at Primavera...

[Fnmentaluk]

My top ten in no particular order

Blur,

Depeche Mode

Delgados

Be your own pet

Fred Again

Gilla band

Charlotte de witte

Crack Cloud

Pet Shop Boys

Wooden Wisdom 

[Fnmentaluk]

Anybody going to either of the things tonight. I'm going to the Delgados

Seems like anyone leaving near the end last night was looking at a queue of 2-3 hours to get a bus back.

I left at 3.00 before the end of Rosalia.

I choose the Bus for Alvaro Medez Station, no queue

Arrive at the station at 3.30/ 3.40.

Got a cab and back to my hotel near Prado in 8 Min.

Was anyone else at gilla band , that was f**king amazing, under the garage holy jesus f**king hell 

I thought they were great in Barcelona - coming off the back off Litvrgy too & they still sounded as ferocious - was a bit slow to the fact they used to be Girl Band, so only really knew their latest album.

They’ve moved Porto back a day for next year. Not sure why.

I know that the 4 day festival did not work well for the sales in Porto. Idk why they moved it one day later tho, maybe something to do with Madrid edition, maybe Madrid is getting 4 days…

Jeez, imagine going in and out to Madrid for 4 days! A fate worse than death!

Lol a few interesting Reddit threads not so favorable on the Madrid edition.... 

 

[xxialac]

A lot of people on Reddit are pretty odious and whine about everything (there was a guy angry with all of Portugal because he got pickpocketed) but they are right on Madrid.

There was also hardly attempt to control the queue which meant people were cutting in en masse, a kick in the teeth to the people who ended up waiting 2 hours plus.

What they will do is determine whether the very low ticket sales were because of the location. If so, they’ll have to find a new one (might not be possible). If not, Madrid is dead.

To be honest, I don’t know how they can improve the transport situation if they continue with Arganda location. There’s just no transport to Madrid besides the shuttles, even if they double the amount of the shuttles and taxis it’s still going to take long to go and comeback, it’s just too far. And the aim of the festival is to grow, imagine if more people come next year (if the festival happens), it’s going to be even crazier. A camping area could solve this, but nobody wants to camp there. The only solution for the festival is to move closer to the city.

Couldn’t agree more. Argenda can never happen again.

I mean Glastonbury would never survive if everyone had to get a bus from Bristol, so unless they come up with a super.cheap prepitched camping options
