Apart from the temperature I can't agree with anything you said.

Last year after Mad Cool I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer, thankfully I beat it and I'm back. Still not received my wristbands but quite frankly I couldn't care less.  I can pick them up there

The atmosphere is terrible. People is boring, they talk so much, the sound is not the best, and we had 38º one day last year. I cannot recomend this festival, I'm sorry.

Kendal Calling announcing tomorrow too. GnR seem too big for them. However The Strokes could fit the bill for all. 

They don’t seem big enough to headline Mad Cool, but I could see them for the Saturday slot. 

Unless they blew their money on the already announced headliners?

If not Guns N Roses, maybe... it's Black Pink. They were on tour in Europe in December. They have only be announced at BST Hyde Park so far in Europe. And Coachella a few days ago. They could be headliner at Mad Cool, Werchter and Lolla Paris.

I would soon regret not wanting GnR if BlackPink is announced… 

I just cannot fathom why they are so popular. Their sound is so extremely generic and withouth any real substance.

Oh, well, I guess I will find something else that day if it comes to it.

I asked them on Facebook and basically confirmed that the next announcment is coming in January still. 
 

They are unlikely to announce on Friday or Monday so either we are getting one tomorrow or Tuesday…

Did they ever confirm that an announcement was coming in January? I feel like they just say more bands would be added in the coming months in the last announcement? 

I’m very intrigued to see who Mad Cool is missing as if GNR is the missing Friday header I could be swayed for the price of the ticket. I also feel that they wouldn’t announce on Tuesday as it looks like Cala Mijas is announcing then

Well, my specific question was to them, if I remembered correctly that the next announcement was coming in January. To which they said “yes, the announcement is coming very soon”.

So, yeah IDK, they may have just meant “yes it’s coming soon” not that “yes, it’s coming january”

Where did you find Calamijas is announcing on tuesday?

On their Instagram they put something up on Tuesday with Florence and the Machine and in the caption it said something to the effect of “Next Week” with a blood drop emoji. Not confirmed but a lot of people are taking that to mean there’ll be an announcement Tuesday

Hello all. Usually go to Sziget (and will be again in August) but Mad Cool line-up look intriguing for this year. Flicking through the comments, it seems that there's confusion over where the location is this year, is that correct? Before I buy tickets and flights, would some kind soul give me a very quick update - is the location for 2023 confirmed and, if so, is it the one in the south of the city? TIA.

According to the page where you purchase your tickets (via the main website), it's in the new location in the south of the city, Calle Laguna Dalga, Villaverde. If you look on Google Maps at that location, they also have Mad Cool Festival as being there. 

I certainly hope so, I've booked my hotel close to this area! I liked the previous setup in Valdebebas, but it was pretty difficult getting back to Gran Via every night

Yes, they are changing the location. If you search for Vértice Roomspace Madrid, this hotel is directly next to the space. You can see the empty space just to the south of this. I hope it helps.

She is too big for anything but headliner I think. Where else is she playing btw?

Just been announced for a Brazil fest.  Thinking she’ll now do Glasto too.  
 

The video game clue is apparently from that day too

      So we've signed a Horny Czech, and Bruno's turned up the training camp instead of doing Isak's nonsense.   Still not sure I believe Bruno's staying mind, but glad he's not doing the sh*t Arsenal are asking him to do to lower the price. If they want him they can stump up.   My suspicion is that whichever of Madrid/Man City don't start next season with Rodri will go for Bruno, and one of them will come in while Arsenal have f**ked about trying to get him cheap, which while I absolutely want to keep him, would still be good enough bants and a nice middle finger that I wouldn't mind it so much. I just wish we'd report Arsenal for tapping up.   If rumours are to be believed, we're after 2 more defensive signings, and an attacking player, on top of a replacement if Bruno leaves, having already signed a LW, 2 CMs, a GK, and some youth players. Huge churn, but apart from a couple of Bazou Toure's games for Ivory Coast at the world cup, I've not seen any of them play. Over 2 summers we've basically changed our entire team aside from the CBs.

      I think the level of headliners Bloodstock get is varied    There's been bands who have gone on to play Download in quite a low spot like Meshuggah, Behemoth, Opeth etc.    Then they've had years like 2025 where you can argue that all three headliners are download main stage sub level    Knocked Loose right now i'd argue are 3rd down on main/opus headliner level while EC and FFDP are borderline main stage sub
