Mad Cool 2019

I'll stick with my comment on the Mad Cool FB page  - 

This is the most tedious crap way of announcing a line up I have ever, ever known!

[jonnytee1]

The best bit about it is the refreshment of my mathematical skiils!

Didn’t they do this last year for about a month and then end with a big day of 20 acts? If so you’ve all got that to look forward to soon 

yeah, i remember. the hint was the coordinates for the city of the bands. i might be wrong, but weren't the bands better known than the last 4 or 5 announcements?

Agree - it's fucking agonising. Daily announcements would work if it was large acts being announced, when it's smaller artists it's just laborious.

[neacaisa]

a bigger batch tomorrow or a big announcement that they don't want to tease?

Last year we had a gap at the exact same time used to announce the onsale date.

The number 10 is obviously highlighted at the end - not sure what that means

Pearl Jam.

Will be something shit like an announcement at 10am of the ticket sale date.

Or they're announcing 10 bands tomorrow.

Yes but last year the bands were much bigger compared to what have been announced this year. Last year until Nov 20, we have already known Depeche Mode, QOTSA, Massive Attack, NIN,MGMT, Jack Johnson, Future Islands, Fleet Foxes, Ofenbach, Real Estate, Angel Stanich, Yo La Tengo, Black Pistol Fire, La moda. They should announce another headliner tomorrow

I know but this announcement structure would have been much more bearable if the bands were bigger and more suprising than the ones that have been announced this year.

Last year they were vying for Glastonbury goers and aiming to plant their flag on the world festival scene. They've done that now, and can afford to go a bit easier this time.

Maybe that tells you something about the lineup this year

Hopefully the latter.

Who do people think are the dead certs to be announced at some point?

I see a lot of people being certain about a Radiohead announcement on twitter/facebook. Did I miss something?

Just people thinking the clue is a reference to Karma Police I think.

TV on the Radio - OK Calculator

[neacaisa]

looks like wishful thinking to me. 

[dentalplan]

I can't see it meaning anything other than we're getting ten maths problems tomorrow for ten acts.

[Gucci Piggy]

Yeah and the number 10 has nowt to do with Radiohead, unless it was 10 bands ending with Radiohead. But if they were announcing Radiohead tomorrow I think it'd be just then.

The whole theme of the announcements has been maths. Just because the theme last year was geography we didn't have a headliner that had anything to do with geography.
