Hopefully it won't happen, let Beni have him :-), and carrying on with my wishful thinking send GD off to Bilbao. Happy with Foos if it is them, all I need now is Pearl Jam, Aerosmith and Prophets Of Rage ( I'm afraid they'll be at Download España )

If we get Pearl Jam - Foo Fighters - Aerosmith/Green Day, it's the line up of the century

FF & PJ look pretty certain now, just the 3rd headliner a semi-mystery, but probably GD

Pearl Jam aren't coming. This guy is trolling every spanish forum giving bad information with the same nickname. I don't know his intentions, but what he says is always fake.

By the moment: Foo Fighters are 100% sure. Green Day 99% sure and the 3rd headliner is a mistery (some people thinks that will be Kings Of Leon, and other people think that won't be a rock band (last year Prodigy and Die Antwoord were headlining one night)

[gregory]

Well I'm glad to hear that, PJ aren't my cup of tea. We'll know for sure in less than 50 hours anyway...

Kraftwerk are available.

Blue Dot Festival in the UK is on the same weekend and are highly likely to announce them for that. Could see them maybe a better fit for BBK though.

Could it be guns n roses?

As mentioned on the Werchter topic, Graspop just left a big hint about them headlining.

[DDave]

GNR, Green Day and the Foos

Can't see that working out financially for a such a low ticket price and fairly low crowd (45,000) unless the rest of the line up takes a hit. Surely there would be one of the 2 bands and a much lower profile headliner to even it out.

[gregory]

The got The Who and Neil Young last year, I doubt either of them are cheap. Anyway, I expect even early birds to be €100+ this year, now it's established itself, hope I'm wrong though!

Kraftwerk played 8 nights in Bilbao last month... I can't see going to Bilbao again in 2017, so rule them out for BBK.

[gregory]

By the way, on twitter a Pearl Jam fan account said they were going to the MC announcement on Thursday tweeting they 'hoped they would hear good news' and the MadCool replied something like 'you will', I can't find the tweet now though haha

Any other festival have an announcement tomorrow?

Rock Werchter probably (read on the topic that friday is holiday).

There is no chance for Pearl Jam being announced tomorrow for Mad Cool.

How can you be so sure? Announcement is Thurs by the way

Cause Pearl Jam has not announced any dates yet, and they usually do it a bit later in the year (between december and march), and also because Foo Fighters will be announced on Thursday, and I've not seen anywhere that other names will be announced on Thursday, wait and see.

[Tremousse]

And another reason is that it would be a non-sense to tease Foo Fighters and not Pearl Jam cause Pearl Jam are legends.

[gregory]

The press-release said acts so hopefully it'll be a decent bunch announced.

I think FF sell more tickets and are way more popular than PJ in 2016

Not true mate ! It makes 25 years that Pearl Jam play sold out stadiums shows ! Foo Fighters are at their best right now, but they have never been bigger than Pearl Jam. If we compare their last shows, and it's comparable, you'll see they are as popular all over the world. Both shold out shows in the Maracana, biggest stadium in the world... 

Two words : SEATTLE ROCKS.

Anyway, I'll be amazed with the bunch of names, and if Pearl Jam and Foo Fighters play in Mad Cool, I'll be the happiest man on Earth  My wishlist for Mad Cool 2017 is : Pearl Jam, Frank Turner & the Sleeping Souls, The War On Drugs, My Morning Jacket, Gogol Bordello, The National, Reignwolf, The Gaslight Anthem and Damien Rice or Glen Hansard.

[gregory]

Actually Maracana isn't even the 30th biggest stadium in the world.

Looking at the UK, recently FF played 2 nights at MKBowl to PJs 1, as well as playing 2 nights at Wembley Stadium (90,000 capacity) around the same time that PJ played 1 night at Wembley Arena (12,500 capacity). So I think in the last 10 years, in the UK at least, FF are the bigger band. All things considered.

Re: Mad Cool. I hope you're right and they don't play! haha. But got a feeling them might, we'll know soon enough. With you on Glen Hansard, have wanted to see him for years!

This is not a reliable source. Just a music blog made by people that read Spanish music forum (where people is always trolling)

No chances for Pearl Jam at MC.

[gregory]

I really hope you're right! But we'll find tomorrow I guess. At least @Tremousse will be happy if they do play

I'm still hoping for a wildcard like McCartney or Stevie Wonder or Kanye or something.

Someone was searching around the MC website... http://www.madcoolfestival.es/images/Img_banda3.jpg (change the number from 1-8)

Obviously not all of these can be headlining, but some could...

Wishful thinking but a line up of

Foo Fighters - Jack White

Arcade Fire - Nick Cave

Green Day - The Cure

 

Would be insane. Where did you find the original post?
