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

      On the whole then,yay or nay...I've had a look on festivals united and there's people who seem converted by Rock Im Park, I can imagine it might be different if it was a washout as RaR is tarmac.   The hotel side would be more to convince the non campers if it's an option. On my first visit to rock am ring we were shuttled into the area where you could stick the car next to the tent which was fantastic as it meant zero lugging of camping gear.

      An interesting thing this. Having seem them several times (some of their gigs veer into back catalogue niche territoty), I partly agree they arent Pyramid material (theough modern defeinition of 'bangers' although I could see them headlinging the Other stage) I can't think of another festival in the world that they couldn't headline - Reading, IoW, BST, Rock Wercheter, Roskilde, etc etc.

      I'm sure you like silly music too but is it because it's not a Download traditional type act it gets looked down on? Rock am Ring booked them, and they sell every year so don't actually need to   Andy going and being replaced is the best thing that could have happened to Download, someone fresh to mix it up a bit rather than just a complete rotation. The only reason Andy booked ST in ti headline too was because he loves them and he was going on to manage them. Nah, Andy booked FOB in a year where over 20 acts were asked, I'll guarantee if they get Blink and having had Green Day they did not need 20 bands to come to those. FOB are also not one that have been booked in Europe to headline by anyone other than Reading as co-headliner as far as I can see. They weren't a ooh god yes they've booked FOB.
