Electropop mixed with other genres, they have a  unique style, it´s a very good addition actually!

Ok thanks. I'll give them a listen later.

They are really great, just wish they would play on the main stage (why does Khalid get that spot and they don't?)

What type of music ?

Think Phoenix mixed with Chic and you're halfway there. Better live than they are on record.

Agreed, seen them twice this year and you can't help but love them. Every song's got something about it too so easy to enjoy a whole gig without having to put up with weaker tracks.

Perfect festivalband

Saw Chic at Glastonbury on the West Holts stage.  What a night

Just having a listen and that's a decent description.  First impressions on spotify, it's not something I'd buy but a warm evening, beer in hand, it would probably come across really well live.  You can fairly hear Nile's fender in the songs.

Kings of Leon and The Killers will be headlining Mad Cool.

Bleeehhhhhhhh please no

I think that we can get at least one of them, especially Kings of Leon because The Killers already headlined Rock in Rio in 2018. 

But at the end of they day I would prefer other bands like Strokes or Tame Impala over them, seen both KoL and The Killers live and neither of them is interesting.

Primavera Sound will be launching 10 names on Thursday morning, amongst them is one of the headliners, maybe we can get something with their announcement.

Would love Faith No more . Wonder what are the chances ??

Very big, Mad Cool´s headliners are Taylor Swift, Faith No More, Kings of Leon and The Killers. We got Taylor so we will get at least another one of those names.

If we get Faith No More and Kings of Leon and a few others on the lower bill from Mad Cool this festival could be saved !!

[young_contra]

I can see them playing here but I'd hope they don't take too long to announce them

[festivalguy97]

I think that both Faith No More and Twenty One Pilitos will play either the first or the second days at Nos as cohedliners. The last day headliner could be anybody, Kings of Leon are playing Mad Cool on 11th so it could be either The Killers (I doubt that) or another mystery band.

Mad Cool still have one headliner and one very strong sub to announce too. KOL are not headlining the festival outright.

KOL are co-headlining with FNM. One day is with 0 headliners at the moment, so at least one (if not two) yet to come.

Strokes would be interesting as that headliner that you mentioned but I heard that Primavera Sound want also to book them.

The opinions on whether Primavera actually wants the strokes have been divided at least, if not leaning towards no. Primavera and Mad Cool are basically the only spanish options for them it seems. Might as well do none of them though.

Kendrick annonced to be playing European Festivals in July, would be interseting to see him join Da Weasel on the last day as they ahave a lot in common due to their hip hop/punk genres but I doubt that Nos Alive will risk it with a hip hop headliner.

They did it with The Weeknd?

I think he meant solo headlining. If I recall correctly, The Weeknd co-headlined

[Maartiinn]

I don't think that The Strokes will ever play at NOS Alive, it seems that Super Bock Super Rock have an exclusivity with The Strokes and their agent in general, their shows in Portugal were always at sbsr, The Voidz played sbsr back in 2018, and last year it was Phoenix who have the same agent as The Strokes...

Phoenix also played nos alive in 2017 tho
