Mad Cool 2019

[The Martini Police]

Thought I was onto something with Kings of Leon (formed in 1999) until I realised they played 2 years ago. The National were formed in '99 too but surely it's unlikely they'll be back by then. Any other major bands formed in 1999?

Seems to refer to the year 1999.

Could imply different things, The National (formed back then), Love of Lesbian (have an album with that name), Red Hot Chili Peppers (released Californication back then), The Strokes (formed one year earlier but become the strokes then), and the list goes on and on.

I expect The National to play there, so this could be them, don´t know if they are tomorrow's announcement though.

The Strokes are also long rumored for All Points East, the other festival teasing an announcement tomorrow (two hours prior to Mad Cool). The Nat has played last year and RHCP are less of a fit for APE.

That actually made me laugh out loud. Well played sir.

1999 = End of a century  = BLUR

Damon's currently working with The Good, The Bad & The Queen.

The best-selling album of 1999 was Millenium by Backstreet Boys so does that mean..

I'm currently working for a Small medium Enterprise company but if one of the "Big Boys" came in with a large project and offered me a fortune to do it "out of hours"  - I'd take it!

I'd love a Blur comeback next year ...but I don't think it'll happen.

The Chemical Brothers @ Mad Cool??

TCB played NOS Alive a few years ago so i can see them playing at Mad Cool (and possibily NOS Alive) next year since they'll play APE,

[Gucci Piggy]

APE announcement is Chemical Brothers, Primal Scream, Hot Chip, Little Dragon and Spiritualized, btw.

Fleetwood Mac just announced for Pink Pop. Doesn't that put them in the running?

It does but they didn’t do anything significant in 1999 so the announcement is someone else

[jonnytee1]

I think Fleetwood Mac is a good shout for a future announcement. I've thought that for some time. It wont be this announcement though. 

1999 is strange, it seems a very vague clue. Could mean so many things.

Both Pinkpop and Werchter Boutique announced FM today, I see no point in waiting with such a big announcement, assuming they are on the bill. However, 1999 clue doesn't fit to FM (or we can't find the connection).

[birchtree29]

They are probably going to announce who 1999 is in 50 minutes at 12 pm Madrid time and give another clue in 3 hours at 2 pm Madrid Time.

about tomorrows announcement. This will go like this probably until the end of the month. Last year they did the same structure between November 6-24 but it was easier with coordinates of the bands origin.
