Generally, the annual budget is around 20 million https://www.tellerreport.com/news/2020-02-10---mad-cool-asks-the-city-council-and-community-of-madrid-for-a-grant-of-16-million-euros-.BkXEBrE0f8.html

The budget for 2018 was 21.2 million euros https://www.withguitars.com/mad-cool-festival-tickets-now-available

Just bought the ticket from Ticketmaster because Lyte is more expensive. These are the only 2 official sites for buying tickets

The presale starting today is available only for Santander credit or debit card holders, because the ticket must be purchased using a visa or a mastercard/maestro card issued by this bank

Exactly. It is also explained in this article: https://www.dodmagazine.es/avril-lavigne-se-auto-confirma-para-el-mad-cool-2024

No trouble. Mad Cool will be held the next year as planned. The message they published is not related to the cancellation of the festival, but is a marketing solution to add more hype. It is well explained in this spanish article: https://www.larazon.es/cultura/musica/mad-cool-celebrara-2024_20231203656cf5b90ec7c80001bae810.html They are going to release the lineup this week.

Is a map of the venue of the previous festival editions available on the internet?

So I assume that the exact location, if held in the same site of Jurnada da Juventude, is this https://maps.app.goo.gl/U2tiAXeU1ydDx6ab6

so I assume that the Google maps (https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZeuoephVmwo5EE9cA) site is a fake one, because in the video the festival location is very close to the Vasco da Gama bridge, but the Google maps site is in a different location, in the south

In which site of the park is the festival going to happen? I see that it is a large park, so it could be either the north or the south side

https://www.rollingstone.co.uk/music/live-reviews/mad-cool-festival-2023-review-musical-royalty-descend-on-madrid-for-three-days-of-greatness-31098 Read this article by Rolling Stone magazine and found no one word about the lack of organization at the festival. WHAT A SHAME

We should access the MC area roughly every week to see if there are data of other users there. This until the shipping of the wristband will happen.

Who is/are Night Club?

Do not trust "Mad Cool english speaking fans FB page"

Can we get IDLES? They will play BBK and Nos Alive this year

The video game clue is about Rina Sawayama

Platform "Stop Mad Cool Villaverde" started a petition to stop the celebration of the festival in the new venue https://www.madridiario.es/mad-cool-de-2023-villaverde-vecinos-aseguran-olvidado-nosotros https://distritovillaverde.com/carta-de-la-plataforma-ciudadana-stop-mad-cool-villaverde/ https://www.que.madrid/2022/12/05/festival-mad-cool-negativa-realiazrse-villaverde-373412/

Could FNM retry to tour this year and headline Friday or Saturday?

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

The missing headliner for Saturday is someone smaller than the Strokes, such as Chemical Brothers or Arcade Fire or Nick Cave

I agree, in general, but not about food: last year the festival offered a wide selection of meals, and it is also very cheap. You should try the "bifana" (a pork steak with bread), or other portuguese specialities.
