Mad Cool Festival 2022

Surely they're not going to move acts to Sunday (unless an act asks to be moved there).

Primavera was able to come up with a Double Line up, sure Mad Cool can handle one day more.

A couple of the templates mention specific acts in the "explaining things to your boss" bits, something like "I've got a meeting with Leon Bridges" and Twenty One Pilots get a mention in another.  Which like all of it, could be significant or could be random nonsense.

There's also the strange phrase in the template shown upthread "older than a forest", which could have pointed towards The Cure if they hadn't played recently.

possiby they got Springsteen on short notice and asked acts from the other days to play twice to fill up Sunday.

That "older than a forest" phrasing sure is suspicious.

Surely that does point to the Cure.

Becaue they have one song that matches half of this phrase? I see where the boss thing is coming from, but I'm calling a leek duck on this one

You would have to be insane to write "As I'm sure you are aware, I'm older than a forest".
In english or spanish, it just sounds so clunky.

I agree, but I don't see The Cure in there

My get out is if they add Sam Fender to the Sunday, then my partner may well decide we need to go for an extra day 🙂

Haha that was my thought exactly- he's one that's disappeared off the previous lineup when many similar sized acts are back in.

My partner is mad about him and he saved me from a hard time after I dragged her to the car crash that was Bob Dylan at BST the other year. She did not like anyone on the lineup other then Sam who opened the main. It was all down hill from there on for her.

As he was on the older line-up, I was hoping they might get him back. Him on the Sunday might help me with negotiations to extend our stay.

Sprinsteen's full name is Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen, so the post below does seem to point towards him.

"Good morning Joseph or Josephine (Whatever your boss´ name is),

Going to be iteresting when they finally stop playing games and start posting useful meaningful information.

That's an impressive spot.

I did wonder if the Joseph or Josephine was also had another meaning. A few years back I think Springsteen was caught up in a bit of contraversy over cancelling a show over standing up for transgender rights. I can't remember the full details but think it was over who could and could not use which toilets. However, I thought not even Mad Cools PR department could be as crass to make light and joke about something like that.

[xxialac]

It could be a reference to Joseph Goebbels, although unlike Mad Cool he was actually good at propaganda.

I think his love for Springsteen would make him playing any day with him pretty likely. I think his new album is great, and he was really good when I saw him last month. The real deal I think 

I don't know if I can hack 5 nights of pure music but if this deduction about Springsteen is true I'm going to have to find out.

Looks like they’ve deleted everything off their Instagram and are teasing a new social media campaign. Would imagine an announcement is due soon? 

[gingerevans84]

Their Insta has undergone a dramatic change..

[mln]

Swedish House Mafia? The black theme on Mad Cool instagram may also suggests that.

Yeah, they're gonna annouce their world tour sometime today and Mad Cool is included

[WFD]

Wonder if that means it won't be a full bill that day, and/or whether it will be largely dance acts?  If they are putting on an extra day purely because of the opportunity to get Swedish House Mafia, it doesn't seem much point booking rock and indie acts to go against/alongside them.

Yes, on the line up alone. The Marketing department has been comical, hilarious, frustrating and everything inbetween in recent years LOL 

 

Its fun though, a bit like a Spanish soap opera ..........................Eldorado
