I'm guessing the next big names are gonna be Mumford & Sons or Florence + The Machine..Or maybe Coldplay is going to announce something..?

Mumford and Sons are out because of their Lisbon and Barcelona dates.

Florence and the Machine has a high chance to be at Mad Cool.

I don't think Coldplay will come back with a festival tour. They will probably have their own stadium tour.

Fuck sake, this line up is too strong for me and I told myself I wouldn't go back here! It's very tempting even if I just got to see all the acts announced so far (except the 1975)

Compared to this year, 2019 is shaping up to be extremely dull. Surely not Florence and The Machine/Mumford and Sons too? What a fall from grace that would be.

to be honest, the whole festival season in 2019 looks worse than 2017 and 2018 so it's not really mad cool's fault for this. 

i am interested in almost all acts announced so far that i know ( i will exclude the ones from this weekend), except maybe the 1975

Yes - and the cyclical nature of the festival season doesn't help matters. With exception to The Cure, I wouldn't go out of my way to watch any of the acts confirmed so far. Compare that to last year where there were at least 15, maybe even 20 - clearly that's a matter of personal taste/choice though.

Still early days but my concern is the theme that seems to be emerging so far. Last year was by large a rock/alternative music festival - I'm not convinced you can say the same about 2019.

I could understand if you were into 'rock' that the line up here isn't as traditional as acts like Pearl Jam or QOTSA. So I get the sentiment, looking more like a Primavera set of headliners than Mad Cool ones.

What are most of these acts, if not rock or alternative?

I think it's fair to say it's much softer than last year so far.

2013, isn't it? So back to Saturday's conversation as that won't be Tash Sultana. Maybe they skipped her after she self-confirmed.

I think it is Tash Sultana. There was probably a misunderstanding at the time zones between Mad Cool and Tash Sultana who is in America right now. She posted exactly at 12 pm Madrid Time on monday instead of tuesday

Agree that probably happened but what about this clue? Did you also get 2013? Can't see how that would link to her.

    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
    • Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.
    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
