Another day trying to think of names who could headline. The Who finish their US tour in May and still to tour mainland Europe. Could be a shout?

I'll never manage to convincingly pronounce kalimotxo so think I'll stick to beer ?
the name is basque. It is pronounced: KALIMOCHO, easy peasy. But yes, indeed, you better stick with the beer

Hi all! Festival ambassador here! Let me know if you want a discount in the tickets. Price with the discount is 225+10€ or 95+10€. I went last 3 years to the the festival. So if you are new, I can provide with you with all the info and tips to fully enjoy the festival (and save money if you want). Things like camping, transport, food, etc.

I was wondering the same thing, but I think the mini means 1 liter in this case. But it's just a wild guess.
Kalimotxo's wikipedia refers mini as a one-liter drinking glass:
'A common way of serving kalimotxo is in one liter drinking glasses made of plastic, called minis, cachi, macetas, litros, cubalitros or jarras.'
kalimotxo is a mix of cola and red wine. It is typical in the north of Spain. I hate it. They should go for rebujito! That's refreshing

So why are 'mini' versions of drinks more expensive? Google translate doesn't help
It is a joke. We call "mini" to the big ones. They are 1L

I pretty much saw the whole of Mac, Rosalia, Balthazar and New Order and all 4 shows were great to excellent. Great run.
But too see all of them was too a bit of planning and running back and forth. So yeah, point on the schedule. But a good day like this still says at least something about the (slowly) declining popularity of Muse. I mean, a band like Radiohead had a day that was much, much worse (James Blake subbing) but they sold out their day in the end.
And Radiohead played on a Friday, Sunday usually sells out more easily. I was surprised that Muse did not sell out. Maybe it's me that I have a very distorted view, but I see Radiohead way more popular than Muse and with a more core fan base.

A female act that currently has 0 upcoming shows announced anywhere in the world. (Maybe not as exciting as it sounds, and it’s Madonna haha)
Do you mean St. Vincent?

There are still 12 hours till the change of price (today at midnight). If someone is interested in ambassador discount, just ask me. I hope we get The Smashing Pumpkins on Thursday now that they are not playing that day in Doctor Music Festival. And I personally would not like to see Empire of Sun in BBK.... let's pray they are going to Mad Cool.

I don't think JB is that big personally. Agree we need some great news to make up for the Gallagher news.
But I think James Blake does not fall into "Unexpected". He is kind of expected on Friday alongside with Rosalía.
-
In a thread in the Spanish forum foroazkenarock there is one person that seems to have privileged info about the festival. He says that he is surprised with one of the announcements to come. He said that it is not something too big, but UNEXPECTED. Any ideas on who can be? I said that probably Pixies will follow Weezer on Saturday. Any ideas? Can it be LCD Soundsystem?
-
What additional names do we still expect? I think we are missing still a big name for Saturday. I recently saw this in setlist.fm when checking the setlists of Weezer:
I also think that Liam Gallagher is a very poor headliner to have. And it is true that he comes along with Thom Yorke, possibly the biggest artist in the whole festival. But I'd expect an additional mid/big name on that day as well.

I'm not sure that's true. I think Lowlands is the exception and they'll largely be doing 90mins (maybe even Lowlands if they're headlining a second stage or something, I have no idea how that festival works). I think even BST where they're subbing Florence (were actually labelled co-headline but I think it's actually a glorified sub spot) that they might do 90 mins or at least 75. Hard to imagine them going back to an hour now. They're a fitting co-headliner for Mad Cool. If we wanna compare to 2018, yes they're smaller than PJ, AM and DM. But are they really much smaller than Jack White (as a solo artist) and QOTSA? Not sure there's much between them. As for prices, don't think we have any idea about that.
Well, I think Queens of the Stone Age is way bigger than The National. I like both of them, but let's be realistic, tell me a festival where Queens of the Stone Age hasn't headlined in the past years. But I agree with you that The National is bigger than Jack White.

If what I've been told is true, indieheads are gonna be very happy with this lineup. The front men of your fav bands will be there in some form. But let's see. 30 mins to go (hopefully).
I thought it was going to be New Order. But what about Eddie Vedder? If his show is 10% as good as the Pearl Jam concert in Mad Cool last year... I am happy with it!

Thom Yorke - Good chance of being the barn closer against muse
That would really be a pity. I saw his show last year in Ancienne Belgique and it was amazing. I would like to see it in The Barn this year but I hope it is not at the same time as Muse in the main stage. That would be really bad. And I guess that most of the people that like Muse also like Radiohead and most probably Thom Yorke. What about having him just before Muse. Something like James Blake before Radiohead in 2017? or Nick Cave before Arctic Monkeys this year!

Actually the one I was talking about hasn't been mentioned yet I think ? But others that have been mentioned are a possibility.
Also, I believe Damon will be there, as I said last week.
BASOA will be next to be announced I guess as @xxialac says, perhaps next week.
I think I know who you meant. And isn't it today the best day to announce them?

And they say everyday that prices will go up tomorrow. But that never ends. It is not smelling well. It sounds like cheap dirty trick to get more sales.
