Arctic Monkeys would have been a good headliner for Friday with main stages going The Black Keys to QOTSA to AM back to back. I think Friday's headliner is Billie Eilish. Sziget probably have an exclusive deal for several weeks or until new year for their own announcement. 

No way hosay 😂

Or maybe not because Electric Picnic also announced Billie

Mad Cool now probs regretting burning their bridges with Arctic Monkeys in 2018

Announced for a second Madrid show, so clearly there's demand for them en Espana that Mad Cool is missing out on.

Bought 2 tickets in the presale. I did the same 3 years ago and ended up reselling them, hopefully this year will be my first one.

BTW, if anyone is interested in a code for the presale pm me.

I know this has been asked a million times but does anyone have DEFINITIVE info on where the festival is next year? On the 2023 mad cool website on the "How to get there link" it has the below which is 100% where the festival was last year.

Yeah i had seen that already, however why have the old site on their website on the "how to get here" page 

 

They are bloody useless 

[jonnytee1]

Actually i have been in contact with MadCool and they have just this second sent me a message saying that as it stands the information on location is......... "neither updated nor confirmed, keep an eye on our social media"

I mean the new area is supposed to be a whole new part of the city dedicated to music with recording studios and festival site. Now, I've been to Spain and, a bit like the UK they don't do anything quickly. Is the build already happening? Because 7 months goes by really really quickly!

I seem to recall in 2018 that first acts were on around 6-6:30, and ran through all the way to 4am, though I tapped out after Franz Ferdinand at 3am as I had a flight at 10am, in a real act of timing idiocy on my part.

Looking at Clashfinder for this year's festival, it started around 5:45 on the first day then generally after 6 on the other days, with the exception of one act getting a 5:30 on the Saturday.

Tbf I think by not going this year I avoided a proper headache of trying to choose between The Killers and St Vincent. That would've driven me mad trying to work out what I would've preferred to attend.

[IbizaPrincess]

Thanks Charlie, that’s what I was hoping for, avoiding the heat and bands on later though a 4am finish doesn’t sound fun while I’m tucked up in bed with flu 😂

keen to know the festival location so can pick where to stay based on the best public transport, seems like the new spot is going to be out the way 

[clasher]

This year everything closed at 3 on the main festival days (including food stalls, some even 5-10 minutes before 3, which was extremely annoying if you wanted to have something to eat on your way home). The festival was spread across 5 days though, so now with only 3 I'd say it's likely the timetables will look something like the 2018 edition. That depends on the deal with the city regarding licensing etc I suppose.

I would say they will keep the two alternating main stages setup which worked superbly in the last couple of editions, however with the new venue we can only guess.

I wouldn't count on any kind of solid info from them anytime soon. They're notoriously shit on that front.

SHAME that Santander offers promotional tickets only for Spanish customers

I can get you a code if you are interested. You only need the first 6 digits of a Santander card which are publicly available.

Blessed Madonna added.  I’m unfamiliar

A DJ would explain my lack of knowledge 😛

So I have purchased the full festival ticket with the Santander promo. It is 20 € cheaper than the general sale one and it offers also some benefits that are described below (only in spanish):

Probably you could know her as The Black Madonna (her previous stage name). You might like her if you listen to house music

Thanks. House music isn’t my thing so it’s fairly unlikely I’ll have come across her stuff

Apologies if it's been covered previously, but is there any reliable indication of who the TBC for Saturday might be?
