Dont think Coachella would give up Frank like that. Mad Cool can take Lana, not like she sells out stadiums like Bad Bunny or anything.

Yeah but dudes gotta play other gigs right. Like he played some Scandinavian fest the last time he did his one or two shows in the US.

He's got a new album this year supposedly.

I do not expect someone spectacular, MUMFORD & STORMZY is the most probable filling formula for the 2 cover slots remaining, not bad but not my taste.

More intriguing is the undercard filling, that is historically strong at MC, all my hopes go for that, 2-3 names who will let us enjoy along FF, 1975 and Sigur...

will see

I would be surprised if the remaining headliners are not Stormzy and Mumford.

If Stormzy and Mumford are the case, I cannot understand why they would have held them back until now. I also do not want to get my hopes up for a bigger name such as Eminem however there must be a reason they could not announce them previously?

Mumford for friday and Offspring por saturday are my bet for the big slots.

And no Stormzy after last years cancellation while he's touring in the neighbourhood? They rebooked QOTSA after their cancel last year as well...  

Also isn't Offspring a bit too small for that slot.

None of these names would warrant being announced at that late time.

 

Unless they're having like a line up party in Madrid or something for the media.

Red Hot Chilli Peppers + The Prodigy + Liam Gallagher + The Offspring seems like a solid "back to the 90's" line-up.

It makes perfect sense if you were originally holding out for certain people / bands and they are no longer playing. 
 

it means you had time to scramble 2 other bands / artists to play 

Are the strokes out? They are touring with RHCP 🤷‍♂️

Imagine organising a party just to announce Mumford & Sons

Yes but Mad Cool isn't a nostalgia fest is it.

Mad Cool has prepared a Saturday night with 90's big bands headlining. That's why I think that The Offspring fits perfectly that night.

Not in Europe that days

And the announcement will be in the middle of Barca - Real match. Maybe they deliberately chose this hour as they don't want to draw much attention to their last names? 😛

Limp Bizkit instead of The Offspring!

Yes please! (Also it would make sense)

 

I take it one step further. LB instead of Offspring, but we still get Offspring in a lower tier! 
 

Now that I would sign up for regardless of the main headliner.

[Akujin]

What are the chances for Iggy Pop and Interpol? 

[Macca077]

I just want to see Idles and The Hives added!

[Macca077]

How many of the original clues have been announced?  I count 7

Apparently all. Some just were not that obvious

Who were they?  I looked at the day split images and there's 3 or 4 clues not on them so assumed they hadn't been announced.

I can’t remember. But I remember reading all of them after the announcement on this thread.

Rock Werchter have their full line up announcement tomorrow.
