Mad Cool 2019

[MikeyRolo]

Does anybody have any idea with regards to transport from the festival this year?

I've emailed Mad Cool but had no response.

Booked an apartment with free cancellation near the Nuevos Ministerios station based on the Metro stopping there last year, but found somewhere we'd prefer to stay near Retiero Park which seems to be more central which we'd prefer.

If anybody has any ideas it would be appreciated.

Think there is a free shuttle back to the square and I'm only 5/10  min walk from there. I think.

Thanks for that, sorry for my ignorance which square is that?

Did you go last year? Seems shuttle buses were a nightmare, that why I booked near the metro station. Do you think they'll have sorted the shuttles from last year if that was the case.

My aprthotel is near metro too , no this is my first time going so I'm just going and see what happens hope everything turns out ok,

Is there any chance they use the promotional event today in London to announce their remaining surprise(s). We are less than 8 weeks out from the opening of the festival, youd think they would have finalized the lineup by now

Literally giving tickets away on a roulette style game at the pop-up event in London today. ???

Must be struggling with sales and I'm not surprised, huge downgrade on last year.

They have said that there is a surprise or two to be added to the lineup (plus the winners of their battle of the bands competitions)

Am I the only one who likes the Thursday lineup the most by far? It doesn't need anything else to me

Best single day of any festival, anywhere for me, and that's not counting the main headliner of whom I'm not a massive fan. Severely tempted by this.

Hey all, just dropping in. Went to Mad Cool last year and going again this year

Amazing little festival! Plus a week in the lovely Madrid sun is always a bonus!

Cant wait! ?

What did we doubt?

But the whole question mark on Foals??? is interesting. Tour dates work out.

Foals plays in New Zealand the Friday and Saturday.  Would it be doable to go from Madrid Thursday to playing New Zealand on Friday?

Considering that Friday in NZ starts when it's Thursday in Madrid I'd say absolutely not, no.

Well folks, it's only 37 days till M.C!!!! I personally can't wait as this will be my first festival abroad.

Since this threads dried up a little recently, I thought I'd get it going again. So I have 3 questions for you to answer:

1.) Which Band/Artist are you most looking forward to seeing?

2.) Which Band/Artist have you seen the most (previously) out of all the acts at MC 2019?

3.) Where are you travelling from and with how many others?

 

My answers are: 

1.) The Smashing Pumpkins and Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, as I've never seen either bands live and  I love both of their music so much!

2.) This will be my 4th time seeing Miles Kane

3.) I am travelling from a town in Scotland called Kilmarnock, with my brother, 2 cousins and a friend. (5 of us.) Drive from Kilmarnock to Glasgow airport, Glasgow Airport to London Heathrow, LHR to Madrid!!

 

ok your turn, let's goooooooooooo.......... ✌️

1.  A lot I'm looking forward to but I'd say the National and Bon Iver are the top and what originally got me to consider Mad Cool.

2. This is an odd one for me because this is the first festival I've been to that I've never seen any of the acts.  Only exception is for the Pre Party since I have seen Griz before once.  

3. My wife and I are traveling from Canada.
