In my eyes there is a large void between the quality of acts announced so far too - Werchter wins hands down

Totally agreed. If Mad Cool wants to beat Rock Werchter again this year (and wants people to vote for them as best festival), they need to shift gears. Otherwise they will be a one hit wonder which everyone will remember with only 2018's lineup.

You’re definitely being overly negative about Mad Cool if you’re willing to hold the current RW lineup as a beacon of quality.

I'd say its down to personal taste. I despise the 1975, I'm not fussed by The National, I like Bon Iver but its not that exciting, Vampire Weekend are a good addition and the Cure are legends but thus far everything else is by the by. 

I still think a majority of bands will be at both but Werchter has at least announced a lot of bands / artists and a decent mix too. Thus far, i believe the line up is far better but obviously others may disagree.

This is the example of Rock Werchter so far. I believe we are still a long way away form final announcements for Mad Cool and i do still have high hopes

In my eyes RW is looking pretty average. Besides Tool, The cure and Florence I don't see anything noteworthy for a festival lineup as of now.

As i said, different stroke for different folks. However, if Mad Cool announced things differently, I'm pretty sure id be more happy with their line up. Its all a bit samey and wishy washy at the moment

Yeah of course it is different depending on your taste but Rock Werchter is still largely a slew of bog-standard festival bookings. Mad Cool is keeping its big guns back for later whereas Rock Werchter have put theirs out now and put tickets on sale with it, and it's not all that impressive to me.

Also, I'd really say Carpenter Brut, La Dispute, Mogwai and Vampire Weekend are very different and exciting nonetheless. Not at all wishy washy.

Good poster that ? I enjoyed making it and I'd like to do one for mad cool but as far as I'm aware there's no day/stage information (also I assume that was what was meant was wishy washy rather than the acts themselves). I was gonna go to mad cool last year but it sold out so I ended up at Werchter instead, for me Werchter looks better this year again just personal taste because bands I like rather than anything exciting.

Weezer, The Cure, Florence and Underworld and Kylie is all I'd make an effort for and The Cure and Kylie will clash anyway. If I consider it as an alternative to Glastonbury for example I know for definite this won't happen. I also know Florence won't be there or Underworld but I went warehouse project anyway. Weezer is the stick out that is a case of if they want to do Glasto after Werchter and Brixton in a row.

Has their historically been crossover with BST shows? Would make sense of why they are waiting till today for more announcements

Didn’t share anyone in 2016 (Neil Young played Mad Cool, so maybe too soon for a return anyway?), shared Green day and KoL in 2017 and no one this year. 

So I don’t think it matters either way, in fairness except The Cure BST didn’t really have anyone this year mad cool would book anyway. 

EDIT - that’s headliners... I cba to look through the whole undercard.

I wonder if its too soon for Neil Young to come back, for most festivals I think it would be. Could argue that Neil's legend status and the international bump for the festival in the past couple years (bringing a significant new audience that wasnt their for the inaugural) would be enough to validate it. Just looked into it a bit more but its worth noting that no crossover in 2016 makes sense cause Mad Cool was in June. No headliner crossover this year is kinda interesting but probably meaningless as you said considering Paul Simons the only one who would maybe play Mad Cool. Neil Young and Foo Fighters being around in such close proximity will be an interesting test to see how much Mad Cool cares about repeating headliners in short order.

When the guy running/involved with mad cool was posting on a forum last year I remember he said something about 2018 finally has them getting Mad Cool to the type of festival they wanted it to be, so maybe Neil Young isn’t too much of a stretch because comparing it to 2016 it’s virtually a different festival anyway... different location, more stages, higher quality undercard etc. 

Foos would be a surprise given it’s only been two years by 2019, maybe it’ll finally be Beni’s turn for them, or Doctor Music.

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
