Maybe they are waiting to see how Zach De La Rocha heals up......He owes them one from last year.

I mentioned this a few pages back, its very unlikely that any festival will be taking a gamble on RATM for next year. So rule them in for 2024.

As much as that would be a dream booking, especially for the Saturday, I can't see it until next year, unfortunately. By then, it'll be a tour four years in the making!

Not happening. You don't cancel an entire tour up to April to let a severe injury heal just to play a couple shows a few months later. He'll take a year out.

Indeed, maybe maybe maybe they'll be back in october/november, but summer of 2023 is highly unlikely.

Hello! Making the move to Madrid in March so thinking of checking of Mad Cool; so far the Friday looks the most up my street; is there any indication/guesses on who the missing headliner may be?

Would be happy with that. How about Paramore? Possibility?

[charlierc]

Tbf they'd be a realistic enough big name for the Friday 7th spot that's currently vacant. Presumably it's unlikely Mad Cool would be putting RHCP or Foos both on Saturday 8th in a revival of a co-headline tour they did in 2000.

[Eugenio]

It's impossible that FF will play on Saturday, but probably they will headline Friday

Touring US until August 2nd

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

I'd love to see Underworld fill that final Saturday slot. They were announced for Coachella and Junction 2 today. 

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

I can't imagine it would be another act the size of RHCP or even LG. I'd love to be wrong, I already feel like I'm getting good value for a day ticket with what's already on offer. We'll see, they must be holding it back for a good reason

There's a gap until July 6th and then it goes on until Aug 2nd

I mean it's a long shot bordering on not gonna happen. Would be quite something all the same, just not likely.

Even moreso tbf that this 2000 tour of RHCP+Foos had an early Muse as support at some shows. Recreating that now feels like even more impossible on top of impossible.

In Texas on July 8/9, so... maybe if they suddenly develop the ability to be in two places at once.

[StaggerLee92]

Any of the Coachella headliners could be a possibility for Mad Cool?

Gorillaz, Björk, Bad Bunny, Blackpink, Frank Ocean (I'm ruling out Rosalia as she is headlining Primavera Sound one month earlier)

[ThomasP]

Are the foos a real possibility for the Friday night? Or is it wishful thinking

Elon Musk is this a spoof ?

Well, where did you find this version of the poster? I don't see anything about it on their website or Instagram.

Probably just fake

No, clearly genuine, why would you say something like that?

Because of the reasons I just said - Elon is not mentioned in MadCool website or Instagram, and the poster on their website does not include his name. Therefore, this specific image posted here seems like an unofficial edit of the original poster

Did you really check their channels to check if this might be real? 😂

 

[Dales]

I got the poster off a Facebook Group that I used a lot last year "Mad Cool Festival English Speaking Fans"

To be fair, I could not see Elon being much worse then many of the other names on the poster. If I lived in Madrid there is enough to interest me but not enough to get me to travel from the UK. If they had stayed at the same site as before I would have already booked before the lineup came out.

After seeing the lineup, I am not that disappointed not to go. I like the second line on the Thursday but the headliners on Thursday & Friday are shocking. The Sundays headliners are good and will be fun but nothing to get excited about travelling overseas for.

I think I will follow this thread and Facebook Group and see how everyone gets on with the new site and logistics of hotels/travel etc.
