These comments  "no mad cool anymore", "worst festival" etc are based on Belgium guy "inside info". He comes to this thread only for hate comments. No one knows who this guy is, but starting to repeat his words. 
So, no Mad Cool in 2021, I think this obviously. If festivals back next year, i think Mad Cool will be back also.

The thing is, he has a great track record of getting things right. 

I haven't seen what he's said about the future of Mad Cool, but I really hope it's back next year too.

Mad Cool is potentially a great festival. Interesting city, international feeling... but they frustrate a lot of the people who they work with: colleagues, agents, bands... 

They did a lot of crazy things the last years. And lost of their credibility. And that’s a shame. Again, how they handle things with bands and partners now is not the way to go. That is why I have a pessimistic feeling about the future of this festival. 
 

Everytime I mention the festival I hear a lot of complaining. And that’s a shame. I have the feeling they have a lot of potential but are ruining it.

Not to mention their handling of the tragedy just before Green Day in 2017...which I witnessed

Mad Cool just reminds me a lot of Oxegen Festival. Huge Bookings until 2011, possibly the biggest bill I have ever seen. Then things got weird, lots of radio silence, a "hiatus", a poorly communicated "return"  in 2013 which turned out to be a EDM-only show under the oxegen name and then another cancellation for 2014 with the weak excuse of "no suitable headliners". 

And then it just vanished. A promoter thats somewhat sketchy in their communication and throws money around makes me hesitate.

Haha, excatly! I was at Oxegen in 2011. The most insane lineup if you think about how much money those artists made. Beyoncé playing before Coldplay and Arctic Monkeys before Foo Fighters etc. But from my experience it was a really garbage festival. Pretty bad sound, generic looking festival area and more party people than music lovers there.

At least we can crack on and do the admin on trying to move flights/hotels etc to next year and book leave.

Plus, we can be optimistic about next year and have meaningful descussions about artists etc that may actually end up playing. I wonder how much of the lineup will be rolled over.

Everything is on track. US bands are allowed to travel. Look at Taylor Swift who turned up at the Brits.

Cases will become more and more irrelevant until deaths rise. Until then everything is looking good, and we're still 2 months away. 

This didn't age well.

Was completely deluded and not great to call people out as 'dicks' for the crime of being realistic...

It would be good for them to confirm the location too, and even better to let us know vaguely where the night buses will go.

That would be very useful as we booked a hotel to be near the festival. Not much use for seeing Madrid but would have been nice at the end of the night not to have to travel to far.

It does make booking accomodation hard not knowing where its going to be and what transport is going to be like. Unfortunatly, I can't see them announcing the venue anytime soon but would be nice.

Lineup before 7 July sounds ambitious. Hope it‘s not going to be another unkept promise by them.

All Spanish festivals promise to do so - announce lineup before their original date.
Seems it's somehow connected with local law about refunds.

Not just Spanish festivals. Hurricane and Southside Festivals in Germany have announced the majority of their 2022 line up back in April. In normal years this wouldn't be possible, because bands and agents would not announce tours that early, but with the majority of acts rescheduling from the last years it doesn't really matter anymore.

Are you blind or just lazy? Both threads, Mad Cool and Nos Alive are created today.

 

Are you an idiot or lazy or just both? It’s ‘both threads, Mad Cool and Nos Alive *were* created today.’ 
 

Some people these days, can’t even be a prick without correct grammar.

    • 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...
