Mad Cool 2019

[Rico_Pliskin]

1. Vampire Weekend

2. Probably my 4th time seeing Noel Gallagher

We all look very forward to partying with you fine folk. 

[Nickdp]

1) prophets of rage and smashing pumpkins

Anyone looking forward to Bon Iver will be in for a treat. I saw the at All points east on Sunday and they were amazing.

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?

 

1) Really tough question. Bon Iver and The National are in my top 5 bands of all time, but I'd probably go with Smashing Pumpkins since I've never managed to see them. HM for The Cure and Sharon Van Etten, both playing Glastonbury but I'll be catching them at Mad Cool instead

2) Weirdly, for a festival with so many of my favourite acts, I've only seen most of them once (if at all). I've seen Chemical Brothers the most.

3) Nottingham, with my girlfriend.

I'll add an additional Q:

4) Song/moment you're most looking forward to? (Really hoping The National end with Vanderlyle, but seeing Pictures of You will be amazing)

[Rico_Pliskin]

4)

I hope the National end with About Today

They ended with Vanderlyle the last time I saw them. 

Plainsong by The Cure

22 a Million Bon iver

[Jaykc82]

#4 for me is Dancing on my own by Robyn, not because of the song itself but because of what I assume the reception from the fans will be like.

1. Bon Iver. I'm specifically going to this festival because of him/them. Also excited about The National, Sharon Van Etten and Vampire Weekend.
2. Probably Noel. Seen him about 3 times. Maybe 4. And Oasis 4 times as well. 
3. Buenos Aires, Argentina. Although I'm not just making the trip for this festival alone obviously.

[Paddyc82]

Smashing pumpkins and wolfmother looking to see. 2 seen the cure once before. And going from Dublin.  Me my self and I lol

[Rico_Pliskin]

So do we think line up this Friday? 

When was it announced last year?

[Rico_Pliskin]

Opener are closing the line up on the rest of their stages tomorrow.

[Mooncake79]

For me it would be....

Empire of the Sun, Smashing Pumpkins  Robyn, and the Cure. First time for all of them and a long time over due!

if I include Oasis with Noel it’s without shadow of doubt him. 12 x Oasis and 4 x solo. Also seen The Chems, Vampire Weekend a few times each and seen Lauren Hill, Years and years, disclosure, Eric prydz, 1975 and Bonobo before.

First time at MC for me and my wife, travelling from Manchester and then on to Benicassim (with its woeful lineup this year)

cant wait now!!!

 

[fightoffyour]

1. The National, Bon Iver, The Cure and now VW

2. This will be the 19th time seeing The National, the 18th will be at Castlefield Bowl a few days before.

3. Krakow, via Manchester.

4. Some rare cut from The National, or Geese or About Today, always.

4)

the Cure - a Forrest,

Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight, Tonight

Chemical Brothers - Hey Boy Hey Girl

Greta Van Fleet - Black Smoke Rising 

and I'm praying that Johnny Marr plays This Charming Man, as I've seen him twice before and didn't play it at either of they shows, but he did play it 2 weekends ago in Newcastle!!!!

 

[jparx]

I've seen Johnny Marr do Charming Man, How Soon is Now and There is a Light in the same set...he can steal the weekend of any festival with the right setlist!

[jparx]

We need these set times! Hopefully they drop today or early next week.

Today seems as good a day as any and lines up with last year. We've been here before haven't we...

[Rico_Pliskin]

Do they not have band competitions on the 11, 12 and 14th of June?

Maybe they're waiting for that to conclude?

[sompas]

they will announce the set times after June 19, which is when the band competition ends 

[jparx]

Well as long as it drops before Glastonbury. I'm not sure about seeing Lauryn Hill at Glastonbury so it'd be good to know who is up against her at MC before deciding!

[fightoffyour]

Yep need to have a joint clashfinder with Glastonbury

[JAYBOY644]

Has anyone from the UK not received their bands yet? Me and my friend ordered our bands the exact same day back in March, separately, and his arrived last week and I've not received anything or even heard that mine has been dispatched!! We stay in the same town and not even that far from each other so I can't understand why I haven't received mine...

[Paddyc82]

I live in Ireland but got my ticket by festitickets and they have not issued them yet, so ya I'm starting to get nervous

Got mine with Festickets, I was once of the first to buy though. Got the reservation code. 

[Cactusgirl]

I got an email on 6th June from DPD saying that the tickets were being shipped out and would be with me shortly. Just checked the tracking and they are still in transit from Madrid
