visdave34 Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 Clues were usually at 14:00 in previous years and announcements at 12:00 (CET that is). So they might still post a clue this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would make sense. Drum up a bit of excitement before ticket prices increase and then announce the headliners after the price increase to make more €€€ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So can you confirm or gently nod that the story happened like this: MC had The Strokes, but HAIM revealed them before the announcement, so the Strokes cancelled their appearance, or we are missing some details, which were not told here? Its just for the curiosity. Thanks! My theory is the above happened but MC may of built bridges and said if we up the appearance fee by X amount of money can this be forgotten. Just a thought.

They clearly wanted to announce them that day. I think HAIM posted the draft that same day... Yeah i think the quote was something like 'Americas biggest influencers on indie rock' I could see why so many assumed it was The Strokes.

Nickdp Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) So in the past mad cool have fake teased, then announced who people thought it was later. Ken19 seems to think the strokes deal is dead. So it would be a cruel twist to place the letters s ( suggesting strokes) and an s and an R to suggest rchp. Then to announce mumford and sons and royal blood ( no offence to either). Then theres the last bit of info that says mad cool wont be sorry. So if i sum up all that i can see foo fighters who are inactive over that period but are in portugal 3 weeks before, the r could then be rhcp or rb. Just a thought Edited February 26, 2020 by Nickdp Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaggerLee92 Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 If The Strokes it's not a possibility according to Ken19, I think the Libertines are playing in Benicassim one week later. I know they are not as big as Strokes but they are the classic indie band that could potentially headline (they are bigger than Royal Blood in Spain at least). Foofighters have already headlined MC three years ago. It's strange that a festival repeats headliner so fast, but KoL were playing that year as well...

wro_lap Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 Libertines would be a seriously uninspired booking. They’ve not been relevant for a few years now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
q1203 Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 Would Libertines be good enough to rise the prize? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
So Sad Simon Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 The Libertines are no longer a headliner (if they ever were). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaggerLee92 Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 Well, last year second headliner on Sunday was prophets of rage... Talking about uninspired booking haha.

Basically all festivals I've ever seen increase their prices periodically. The first 15,000 tickets here where 10 euros less at Mad Cool when they first went on sale. With the full lineup out it makes sense to increase them again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Cool didn't in previous years if I remember correctly. This year they said the first batch of tickets was cheaper before (or as) they went on sale, but mentioned no further price increases (which would surely be an incentive for potential buyers). They clearly had problems finding the last two headliners. If they had to promote a band to headliner status that would otherwise be second line at best and still increase the price that's surely a shot in the foot that could easily be avoided?

But the rumour coming from a guy in the know involves Mumford and sons who by all accounts despite being shite would be very expensive as they’re not even touring my main point was looking at the lineup and how many big names are there I’m not shocked they’re upping the prices.

bluenova Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 45 minutes ago, clasher said: You seem to claim this with an enviable degree of certainty... It's surely pretty normal for festivals to put up prices before an announcement? You're boosting the sales before and after. If you say, announcement Wednesday and price rise Friday, then everyone waits till the announcement. This way, you generate a rush before based on people wanting to save a few pounds, or who are hoping for a band that might not be playing - while after, you get a boost from the fans of the bands just announced. While there may be complications with getting headliners etc., the price rise/announcement happens for most festivals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
