What a weak line up 😞 There are almost none big female artists like Taylor or Billie, no rappers. I think the average age is gonna be 35, I’m just gonna sell the tickets to my parents. So cheugy 😞

Had an awesome experience as well. I've been to Mad Cool in 2017 but this was way better organised! I'm actually sad to hear it's moving again. Any news on the exact location & the reason why?

Let's be clear - I'm 30 and I think the lineup is dull as hell. I've seen most of these headliners plenty of times, and the majority of them haven't released a record worth a damn in 10+ years, some o

it asks to enter a wristband code there.....mine has no code anywhere on it. 

 

Has anyone got their money back yet?

The code can be found behind the wristband tag.. behind the card-like thingy that says "4/Day Pass" etc. 

I've submitted for my refund yesterday, haven't received anything so far besides an acknowledgment email. Should take a few days.

Regarding the next edition, do you have planned to book the accomodation now? I have seen that there are only a couple of apartments available on Booking and Airbnb near the poligono Marconi, so I think it is a good idea to book it now. Otherwise, I have not clearly understood how to reach this poligono Marconi by public transport: the closer metro station is Villaverde Alto, that is very far from the airport and you need to change the metro line first in Nuevos Ministerios (from the pink one to the blue one), and then in Plaza de Espana (from the blue one to the yellow one), so the trip by metro seems to be over one hour long. It is also possible to reach the poligono Marconi by train, but I do not know how the trains work in Spain and where is the closer train station to the airport

Locals might be able to tell you more, but basically you have two separate city train systems in Madrid - Metro and Cercanías (run by Renfe). You can get from the airport to the new site with one change, but you have to combine both (and buy separate tickets, afaik). A lot of lines stop at Atocha train station in the city center, so you can look into other means of transport from the airport to Atocha (buses, shuttles, etc) and then take a train. Since the airport and the festival site are on the opposite sides of the city, the public transport will take you about an hour whatever you do.

Looking at the map, the closest station is San Cristóbal Industrial (with the Cercanías line 3). San Cristóbal (M3) and Villaverde Alto (M3, C5) are close as well. 

Given that it is unlikely the festival will provide relevant information anytime soon, I suppose the best bet atm is booking something close to those lines between the mentioned stations and Atocha, giving you proximity to the festival and connectivity to the city center and beyond.

We made great use of Uber this year, if the drop off point stays as convenient as this year (proximity, separate security and entrance), I'd certainly recommend it. A couple of euros more are in my opinion well worth the perks and above all avoiding overcrowded and usually terribly hot trains.

We have an apartment booked in Usera district. Although we had a blast this year, we're likely to skip next Mad Cool - mostly preventively due to the venue change. In case we get Glasto tickets - or more likely decide to do Werchter instead, I'll link the place here a couple of days before I cancel it in case anyone wants it.

They KEEP changing this. When I first asked it was 'soon', then it was 'in the next few days', then it was '15 days after you applied for a refund', then '15 days after it closed on 20th July', then '15 days after it closed on 22nd', then '15 working days after it closed on 22nd July'. Absolute shambles.

El Mad Cool Festival 2023 tendrá lugar los días 5, 6, 7, 8 y 9 de julio en Madrid. 

This is from the link. As I said, I don't know is it legit

I’ll be surprised if it’s 5 days again next year. Nos Alive has become somewhat of a “sister” festival to Mad Cool and that appears to have gone back to 3 days after having moved up to 4 for the previous edition. I think Mad Cool will stay at 4 days though, but we will see soon enough

Mad Cool Sunset cancelled

Imagine they'll be concentrating all their efforts and resoucres into Andalucia Big now. Telling how they said they couldn't get an appropriate replacement but were happy for Andalucia Big to have someone completely different to Rage replacing them.

But Sunset was a one-day thing, with interest naturally driven by interest in seeing Rage specifically.
