MattyFTM Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Can anyone recommend any other areas to try for a hotel in as opposed to Valdebebas that aren't too far away and have easy transport links? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. There are none at Valdebebas, some airport hotels are the closest possibility. But I recommend to stay in the centre of Madrid ant go there by train/metro.

berger55 Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Malasaña & Chueca are good areas for some pre-festivals drinks. For the festival you can take the Train C1 to Valdebebas or a metro, back they should provide shuttle buses. AFAIK there isn't a metro at night (last maybe 01.00). Direct trains to Valdebebas running from Recoletos or a stop earlier is Atocha. If you stay somewhere between it shouldn't be a problem to get to the festival. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdog Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Anyone have an idea where I can get a 3 day pass at a decent price (like less than double price)? Is the best option to monitor viagogo? Or just go for 3 day tickets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isco Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Anyone staying in Madrid on Sunday night, I have a challenge for you. A drink in every tapas bar on Calle Cava Baja (near La Latina metro, less than 10 mins walk from Sol. Start about 1pm. Casa Lucas, La Concha & La Perejilla are my favourites. Txirimiri and Delic are in that area too and they are both mega. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernintendo Chalmers Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 I see that Run DMC have announced a couple UK dates in early July. How I'd love to see them grace one of the stages at Mad Cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownlnAlbion Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Someone should ask about public transport to/from the festival. It’s been a while since it was last covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThisIsHappening Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 I know the community manager said there'd be some transportation options and it's pretty unlikely they'd leave 65,000 people scrambling for nothing but some taxis. This wraps up at 4 AM and the metro starts at 5 AM I believe usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a shame. Seems to be some really good hip-hop acts touring this summer, I was hoping we'd get one or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenova Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 So, are we expecting a final announcement Monday, or will end of the month be a painful Wednesday wait? Still another 55 names potentially too. Seems a lot, but do we reckon there'll be plenty of Spanish bands and DJs to fill that number out, or more festival filler?

Nothing is certain but community manager of Mad Cool said that the complete lineup will be available until the end of the month. We will probably get Arctic Monkeys announcement on Monday but I am not sure if we will wait until Wednesday to get the full lineup. When they said they will announce 14 artists+1 headliner last week, they were quite great artists, so I expect some similar artists especially for the Electronica stage.

No Metros between midnight-6 AM but the community manager said there will be some information about transportation and shuttles closer to the festival.

birchtree29 Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Mad Cool will have a hint like this on Sunday probably for Arctic Monkeys. Primavera Sound will release their full lineup on Monday as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
