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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited May 18, 2021 by Ken19 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quadrophobia Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) 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.

And then it just vanished 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yosoyyoberdi Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 I was at Oxegen 2010 and 2011 too! Insane lineups and great crowds. I had a blast both years. Tame Impala was actually the opener act in a random tent. We were just 10 watching them, crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenova Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 https://madcoolfestival.es/en/news/mad-cool-2022 Finally woken up and cancelled. Line up announcement before 7/7 for next year, then an opportunity for refunds between 7/7 and 21/7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oz_james94 Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Glad the announcement has finally been made. Lineup for next year to be confirmed before July 7th. Im personally hoping Mumford and Sons will be back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthSaul Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Roll on 2022 aye! Think having dealt with the disappointment of this inevitable cancellation months ago has made me all the more excited today for next year ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dales Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 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.

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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlos12345 Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Lineup before 7 July sounds ambitious. Hope it‘s not going to be another unkept promise by them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

All Spanish festivals promise to do so - announce lineup before their original date. Seems it's somehow connected with local law about refunds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Kusy Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Yeah, it will be nearly 1:1 lineup @ eurofestivals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxialac Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Does anyone know whether if you had a day ticket last time they cancelled you were able to switch to a different day or were you stuck with whichever one you originally had?

yosoyyoberdi Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 Well, that's a huge lineup for Primavera. Let's wait and see what Mad Cools got for us but feels like I might need to swap festivals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
