Red Day Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 The Friday is dire. Few decent things early on but doubt I’ll be spending a lot of time there that night. No idea why we had to wait so long for Friday headliners when they’re as bad as this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, they offered a lot more money for Kendrick than Bilbao, but his agent refused. He has shown no interest to work with them, and that’s just one example... any other examples?

StaggerLee92 Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 Having lost Kendrick and Strokes as headliners is really shameful for Mad Cool. It's the worst line-up of Mad Cool ever (I've been to all editions) Btw, it's probably the last year of Mad Cool as they are having big problems with Madrid's town hall.

Maybe we’re all being a bit greedy expecting everyday to be perfect I totally agree with this, The whole line up is very strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's in the know for Belgian festivals (especially Rock Werchter) and the information circles around so he knows bits and pieces for the rest of Europe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VCF Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 Was planning to do this over Werchter (Wed and Thurs are spectacular) but this is getting a bit ridiculous. It makes the Friday really bland overall, but I think the price increase situation is worse than the actual announcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of the tour last year. There were some negotiations with festivals, and they created a gap in their US tour, you never know. But it is far more lucrative for them to do a festivaltour next year. Interesting to see first how their arena tour will sell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clasher Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 As expected, Instagram says this announcement concludes the lineup. And what a sad conclusion this is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dales Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 Well, not even worth mentioning about Mumford as we all seem to think the same. Bumping Alt-J is an admission that its overall fairly poor. Its hardly a Triumvirate of headliners. Actually, I like Royal Blood but like others have said they should not be headlining this. The only silver lining in for me is that I am also going to Victorious and my partner wants to see Nile Rodgers which might clash with RB. So we can see Royal Blood here and go see Nile & Chic in Portsmouth. This is so poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pryce Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 I don't mind it, better than Liam Gallagher, prefer royal blood to the strokes... Don't care for mumford, but can enjoy with with a cold beer on hand Waxaxhtee, Shura, last Internationale and the Chats are all great additions and worth a listen.

Slix_Trix Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 Mad Cools inability to handle business correctly will be the reason why they will never be the big respected festival they want to be. The time will come when they wont be able to book any big acts at all. With the relocation problem also looming, does it even stand a chance existing much longer? Was it ever they plan to last more than 5 years if they cared very little about maintaining a professional connection with artists? I know M&S are headline worthy (well not for me but I get that they have a fan base) so I am not crapping all over them. Just can't hide my disappointment with this wet fart of conclusion.

Oleksii Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 From the new announcement, The Chats is quite nice ones. They were the support band for QOTSA for their Australia tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Routledge Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 I think looking at it from a UK Festival point of view. A day of Mumford, Royal Blood, Alt J and Haim would be considered pretty strong. Along with Nothing But Thieves and Frank Carter there is plenty that day to keep me happy. MCR and the Strokes would have been incredible but the lineup is still really strong regardless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
