I’m sorry but this is a bit naive.
It doesn’t matter if it is “illegal” not to refund, if they have less money in the bank than the costs of refunding everyone, they will not be refunding everyone.
I think they will refund people but this is poor information.
It's not naive, idk how things work in other countries but here in Spain when a lawyer (my father read this on a lawyer website, they were giving info about this because a lot of people had questions) says that they must give our money back regardless of their policies, because this Covid-19 situation is different, they must. We could legally sue them for this. So trust me, they will give us all a refund. They can't try anything dirty. + Other festivals are refunding.
And if you're that negative, keep it to yourself. A lot of people were nervous about this and I'm giving facts so they can be calm until we have more info about the festival, you just threw them away just because “yes this festival can break the law because they're broke!!!!” okay i'm broke so i'm gonna steal some things!!!! lol
If it were the case and Mad Cool didn't give us a refund though, I would call my lawyer and tell you anything they say. But we will have our money back for sure.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey we can rest easy because we'll get a refund if the festival is cancelled due to covid-19!!! When they talk about force majeure, I think they mean cancellation due to the weather. Which is logical giving that everything would be ready then, so they would need the money to cover everything.
Covid-19 is not "force majeure". And even if they (or whatever website you got your tickets from) took the situation as a force majeure, they would have to give us a refund. It would be illegal not to.
My father found all the information online because I was a bit stressed about it, so I can't post the articles or whatever (they were probably in spanish too). But yeah, it's true!

When I said "as if it's not going to be extended" it was with quite a lot of sarcasm - sorry for not being clearer on an international forum
It's ridiculous for them to be suggesting that info will be available on the 11th, when there's no way that Spain will be in the clear by then.Oh no no, I got the sarcasm! I just wanted to say what we think will be the most accurate date (well, month: May) just in case somebody else still thinks that this will be over in two weeks!

The state of alarm won't be over until May at least, even though the official date is April 11th (trust me, I'm spanish)
Mad Cool will probably be postponed, but idk what's gonna happen with some of the artists.

Not according to their Terms of Ticket Sales: The total or partial cancellation of the event due to force majeure, in no case will result in the refund of the amount of the ticket.
that's so bad
I think you should stop using flex ticket then...

I would otherwise have guessed that festivals are low in the city's spending priority list right now.
RIGHT NOW yes, but I'm sure that they received that money before they started planning Mad Cool 2020................ (waaaay before this situation started). It was an investment, after all.
What I meant is that yes, they'll probably lose money, but it'll probably be money that the city gave them to invest on the festival. It's not like other festivals, whose only income is the ticket sales.
-
If it's cancelled, they MUST give you a refund!!!!

Are you sure about that? I read a while back an interview with an insurance broker, and he said that very few festivals take out insurance for health emergencies. They all have some insurance, and may have cancellation insurance, but it tends to be for specific events they think may happen (e.g. in certain places weather/flooding issues), not a generic policy that covers everything.
I'm not 100% sure, but knowing that the city gives them A LOT OF MONEY for the making of the festival... their insurance should be really good, right????
-
I don't know. Different artists, different situations. It depends on what happens with the other festivals run by live nation, because they can't postpone their dates unless the other festivals do too... Which is 100% sure is that Mad Cool will wait until the government make them cancel the festival because they wouldn't lose money that way.

Mad Cool is on the list, ain't it?
Mad Cool gets most of its money from the city. Trust me, if it's money related, the festival will survive.

500 died in the past 24 hours in Spain, things look/sound horrendous.
Matter of when not if?
As a spanish who is living this: yes, it is awful. A real nightmare. And to be honest I don't even care about future concerts/festivals anymore... I just want this to be fully over so we can get back to our “normal” lives again. (That's IF we can get back to our normal lives bc this will change all of us for sure)
Spain is cancelling big gatherings up to July so yes this is a matter of when.
Be safe and stay home please 🙏🏻 ❤️

I can see there's some difference - but you'd assume they've taken the decision with more information.
If artists are pulling out/postponing/cancelling then all the festivals will fall like dominoes. You're not likely to get Taylor Swift turning up for half a festival run.yep, this is true.
I'm just speaking from Mad Cool's perspective, it doesn't mean that I think they shouldn't cancel. At this point, I've even planned what I'm gonna do with the money...
I'm worried about that tho, because I'm one of those who got the fnac pack and, giving the moral of the festival and fnac, I'm afraid that they wouldn't give my money back just because it also had a bottle for water, and some other useless stuff.....

The reason why Glastonbury cancelled its edition is:
Mad Cool wouldn't have that issue. Like, I think it doesn't look good (because the situation is worsening and controlling this virus is more important than these festivals, of course), but Mad Cool (and other festivals) don't need to work on the field as much as Glastonbury. That's why they haven't cancelled anything... yet.
Spanish Government said that this situation would go on for months, from 2 to 4. Best case scenario? 2 months, and Mad Cool would still be happening. 4 months and it wouldn't.
-
Spanish government is acting quickly, at least i'm a bit positive now. No one is going to school/university, and Madrid will probably be all closed starting next week to avoid more infections (like, only supermarkets, drug stores and places like that will be open, just like Italy). I can't see this situation going forward up to July, that would be insane...
-
Me too, but they said yesterday that it's still happening. I guess it depends on what happens next month...
-
So... Crazyminds talked to Mad Cool and they basically said that the festival is still happening. We have nothing to be worried about... for now.

Concerts are being cancelled in Madrid now, since there has been an increase in the number of cases... I don't think that we'll be like this in July, but keep in mind that, if the situation doesn't get better in a couple of months, they'll probably cancel the festival. I'll keep you all informed!!

Sorry to be that guy but... we aren’t under threat of cancellation because of Coronavirus, are we? Apparently the U.K. government is content to keep public summer events running, what’s the latest from Spain?
They aren't cancelling concerts here for now + festivals take place in open spaces, the real problem would be concerts in closed spaces. I'm not worried at all! + coronavirus apparently doesn't survive high temperatures so...

So which of the smaller bands and artists would be worth watching ?
In my opinion (and I have to listen to the others just in case I like them, but I will def see these bands/artist if the clashes let me):
wednesday: sam fender, yungblud, the regrettes
thursday: sigrid, charli xcx, phoebe bridgers, refused, finneas, pale waves
friday: tones and I, nothing but thieves, frank carter and the rattlesnakes, black pumas
saturday: kali uchis, the rapture, tom misch, the struts, arlo parks
I haven't added artists from the loop because I only know Diplo.
-
Very very very low, actually. They're probably saying that so people don't sell the tickets they bought when they thought that the headliners were The Strokes and Red Hot Chili Peppers or just one of them + Royal Blood. Like "hang on!! don't do anything!! MORE SURPRISES ARE COMING".
Spoiler alert: They are selling them anyway.
The actual surprise: THESE 9 SMALL BANDS THAT YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD OF ARE BEING ADDED!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!

Does that read as extra last minute surprises, e.g. new added bands, or the usual festival stuff of bands dropping out/being replaced?
new added bands, I guess!
It says: In the absence of the talent bands and some last minute surprises, the line-up is full.
So we can expect those talent bands and last minutes surprises being announced in the following months. But, again, don't expect anything huge just in case...
-
It says that there's gonna be some last minute surprises I'm-
So I guess the line-up isn't fully closed, but don't expect anything great, just in case. They will probably add some names to day 1.

No Foo Fighters. Stop messing with us lol They have an exclusive in Spain which was announced like a week ago, they wouldn't break that contract.

in overseas festivals

How? they wouldn't have to pay the artists and some other stuff... xxialac is talking about a situation that won't be happening for sure. I would agree if it was weather related, but this is not the same situation.
And about what xxialac said, don't make assumptions about people you don't know anything about. It's true that I didn't get what you said (and sorry for that), and I would agree with you if Mad Cool was a small festival BUT THIS IS NOT THE CASE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT LIVE NATION FOR GOD'S SAKE THEY WON'T BANKRUPT LOL do you even know the festival???? they have A LOT of money (Madrid also gave them money last year for the making of Mad Cool 2020)
Anyways, you can find all the information here https://www.ocu.org/ you can even call to ask about this situation, they will tell you what I said.
