Mad Cool 2017

Shed 7 have an announcement on Monday. As much as I'd enjoy them in the sun, I can't see them being booked for a Spanish festival! 

I'd imagine the 4 to be announced will be international bands?

Yeah, people think it'll be 4 bands playing elsewhere in Spain perhaps, that other festivals required an exclusive period of time to promote. But who knows. The fact it's only 4 bands, after 35 were announced last week, leaves me hopefully they were woth setting aside

What are the usual announcement times?

I hope so like

So far, saturday looks weak. I wouldn't mind Gogol Bordello, Wolfmother, Pretenders from this dutch festival which takes place the same weekend.

[gregory]

I agree, Saturday is weak, and has a few less non-Spanish bands than the other 2 days. I only really care about Wilco and Moderat that day.

Dinosaur Jr, ( which is my second favourite band of the whole line-up), Wilco, Xavier Rudd for me, and i will watch KOL as well 

[gregory]

I'm getting into Dino Jr a bit, like a fair bit of what I've heard, they look quite noisy live though!

Yeah, there's a few things I'll check out on Sun like KOL, Savages and SBTRKT, but the other 2 days have 8+ bands each day I wanna see, and this day barely has 8 international bands playing

This one was on Mad Cool twitter for a minute, but then was deleted.
Any thoughts?

Trentmoller

Sounds quite good actually, not what I expected. He's one of the headliners at Roskilde (though he is from Denmark) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oL2vRz0ip7Y

Vintage trouble would be a good addition

Thursday looks ok. Hope you wrong about friday, would be terrible clash Ryan Adams vs Deap Vally, but that's the strongest day so might be forced to miss some acts, but surely not missing Ryan. Saturday, swap Wilco with Foster, and don't think that Dinosaur Jr. will be on main stage

Another masked photo, which trio is it? I thought of the Beach Slang but apparently it's a 4-piece.

Also, the two photos were posted on 12PM and 8PM Madrid Timezone today. The next two cloud be posted tomorrow at the same times.

It's Peter, Björn and John

By the way Jimmy Eat World are ruled out due to being in the USA supporting Incubus at the time of Mad Cool.

M.I.A

So 3/4 of the names already known, hopefully one big name that they are keeping secret for tomorrow. So far, Trentemoller is a nice late night act but nothing special. Peter, Björn and John and M.I.A are one hit wonders for me. Don't think anyone expected these acts, as far as I can see it's the first date for the last 2 acts so probs for that.

M.I.A is playing 2 festivals in France in July. You are right about P,B,J. Nothing special, nothing that I expected or wished for but much better than last announcement.

 

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

M.I.A is a great addition. Anyone calling her a 'one hit wonder' obviously hasn't bothered to check out her back catalogue properly.

[gregory]

We have electronic, indie/pop, and hip hop/rap, so maybe the 4th will be something rock/alt. MIA is the biggest of the 3 acts, so maybe today will be even bigger. Or maybe it'll just be Los Planetas or Midnight Oil....

[gregory]

An hour to go, hopefully, for confirmation of Peter, Bjorn & John, M.I.A. & Trentemøller + the mystery 4th act

[foolee]

Does anyone know when the announcement will be? I thought it was usually in the mornings.
