(The other two being chvrches and Two Door) They cancelled their set. Would Mad Cool book them after the Massive Attack fiasco? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t know they cancelled but based on a quick Google search they gave them at least a days notice rather than being stood back stage refusing to go on, depends what the reason was I suppose. Wolf Alice cancelled Mad Cool in 2017 too and they had them back this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was different though. The kooks cancelled several shows due to health issues Unfortunately and with great regret The Kooks will have to cancel their performance at NOS Alive tomorrow. Luke is under strict doctor's orders to rest his voice after battling bronchitis over the past few weeks. The band are truly sorry and hope to be back in Portugal as soon as possible.

We’re contemplating flying out for our anniversary. Don’t really think a Butlins vibe is what we’re looking for. With the boys is a different matter. Lets see how this line up progresses over the next few weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40 Days Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 There was a large amount of "English there to just get steaming" at Mad Cool last year to be fair... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Martini Police Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 It's not quite as fun/rewarding when the answer isn't even an act that shows up on Wiki/search results is it. I'd personally prefer it if they only did it every few days but for acts it's possible to work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be more fun if they just announced the line up so I can decide what I’m dong next summer!

jonnytee1 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 By the above statement I mean that a lot have mates have booked werchter alteady. They won’t do both but the lure of the werchter line up sold it to them already. I can’t see how this format gets the best for Mad Cool?

diogozsz Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) 2013, i guess. Since they're probably not announcing a "big act" on Saturday, i'd like tomorrow's confirmation to be Japanese Breakfast.

BlackFoxx Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 La Dispute are a brilliant addition. Really tempted by the line up so far 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhcp1 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 I know the line up is never going to please everyone but it’s hard to believe this is the same festival that has had Foo Fighters, Greenday,KOL, Arctic Monkeys,Queens of the Stone Age,Neil Young as Headliners/Co.Headliners. Does anyone know if any of the bands/acts announced so far are actually headliners and if not when will the headliners be announced? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
