Mad Cool 2023
November 22 to December 4, 2022: Clues leading to the line-up announcement.

Mad Cool 2022
June 16, 2011: First line-up announcement (date is not relevant as the early announcement is due of the return of festivals after Covid)
Mad Cool 2020
October 29, 2019: first confirmations for the line-up
October 24-28: Clues leading to the first announcement
It seems there is trend 🙂
If you ignore MC 2022, the first announcement is getting later every year.
It's mildly insane to me having watched them all the way to hear you guys dismissing them as too big for Green Man. Mental stuff. They're headlining Alltogethernow in Waterford the week before GM, same capacity give or take. I'm not arguing with ye mind. Watching them Friday night it really felt like boom! They're gone! I'm slightly emotional at the hypothetical prospect of them actually headlining Glasto down the line.
