Good spot…. Didn’t notice the date

[graceunderpressure]

Yep , Just the venue . Not playing the festival

I did note the listing of "Nuevo Espacio Mad Cool" - this presumably rubber stamps the relocation across the city from Valdebebas. Isn't the new place like way out of Madrid or something?

No. It's Primavera Sound Madrid the one that will be held in Arganda del Rey.

Apparently the new Mad Cool space will be set here.

I see. Still a bit of a way out of town tbf, even if the same could've been said for Valdebebas.

Taylor Swift? 🙏

Mad Cool have taken the decision to cancel Mad Cool Sunset after Rage pulled out.

From the wording of this it makes it sound like they’re trying to get them back for the festival next year. I know how everyone is feeling with this after the bother with Leeds this year, but from a selfish perspective if they’re able to pull RATM, Biffy, Stereophonics, RTJ, Kurt Vile,  Sports Team, Yard Act and Wargasm on to next year’s line up too that would be a great start for me to start considering going back next year

Who do you want then? Headliner-wise.

I hope they book the headliners a bit more diverse this time around...

Would love Rage against the machine , arctic monkeys , Pearl jam , queens of the Stone Age or Nick cave . 2 out of those would be fantastic

I would love this so much, even though I know there’s no chance of AM ever playing here again after last time. It’s an interesting one because I know people seem to fantasy book headliners across all genres (rock, pop, hip hop etc) now to try and make something that appeals to everyone, but I would love just one festival, literally just one that booked a line up full of rock, metal, alt and indie bands on a massive scale. 

This year’s Mad Cool was the perfect festival in terms of that, or at least as close as you might get to that in the modern era and I hope they continue it going forward (and I’m kind of hopeful they will with them omitting Harry Styles already)

The only obvious problem with that is it makes it harder for them to have a gender balanced line up. But I would love to see them try and go for bands like Paramore and The XX for example just so Florence isn’t the only female at the top of the bill this year

[Dales]

What do we think are the chances of some of the previously years rumoured acts like My Checmical Romance & The Strokes?

How is Mad Cool vs Sziget? I mean in general atmosphere, not related to lineup.

Both great atmospheres. Sgizet is an arts and music festival and Mad cool is solely a music fest.

[dolevshelly]

sziget is for the festival, madcool for the music.

the people were great at both, but at sziget you get tones of activities, partys, and great music. at madcool ita just great music

[Drums Please Fab]

what happened with arctic monkeys last time?

[Prophet of Doom]

Has it been confirmed anywhere that it will be held 5th July - 9th July 2023 ? I’m sure it will be based on Styles having his own gig on the site the following week 

[lighthouse]

Muse are out (played this year).

Florence an The Machine are out (played this year).

Depeche Mode are out (Primavera Sound).

RATM probably out.

Arctic Monkeys will be hard to book because of the situation in 2018.

 

So... I wonder who will show up at Mad Cool next year. 

[scatteredscreens]

Still confused what this AM situation is? I saw 30 mins of their set and went off to see Young Fathers but can't remember my friends mentioning anything from the gig.

Probably a good chance, they're already confirmed for 3 euro festivals in June.
