Mad Cool 2025 lineup just dropped

There are some great names in there...

I think we could get Girl in Red this year. Fidlar would be incredible, i missed out on them in 2016.

Wombats, Bloc Party, Weezer... such a great lineup.

It's not as packed as a usual mad cool lineup, but decent. Only werchter has it going on this year lineup wise for me. 

 

Decent lineup though. Girl in Red would be a great addition for sziget. 

 

Jet? Though they were done 15 years ago.

I think Werchter headliner wise is definitely the strongest, undercard needs a lot more depth still from what it has. Naturally the Thursday being the hardest to sell usually has been padded out though I'd say Iggy Pop is the only name that day that sticks out for me. 

 

I think Mad Cool has just become the victim of everyone.

Got good undercard for my tastes already to be honest. Beth Gibbons, Underworld, Elbow, goose, overmono, fontaines, deftones, girl in red, purple disco machine, .

 

Especially looking forward to Beth Gibbons, Underworld, girl in red and purple disco machine. Been many years since I've seen Underworld, now Karl Hyde is approaching 70 might be one of the last chances. 

 

Never been able to get into iggy pop.

Hope they get Ari Abdul this year after she dropped out last year. Saw her a couple of weeks later in England and she was very good - I wasn't the target audience but those that were seemed to love it too.

 

I assume she dropped out of Summer Well last year too and they've invited her back so fingers crossed for Sziget.

Iggy is a bit of a tick off.

 

I think Underworld and Girl in Red is all from that list and I'd expect Underworld to heavily clash with Green Day anyway. Beth Gibbons definitely not for me. Elbow I've always thought are one of the most boring and dull acts around and live didn't change that. But that's all opinions.

They have Georgian heritage, at least the singer has. And also that release was a shady business. The killer was celebrated as a hero in Azerbaijan.

not Georgian, but Armenian, but that doesnt make difference as its not realistic for them to play there.

Praying for great undercards from Madcool/Werchter!

Girl in Red played main stage in 2023. Do artists on the undercard tend to be booked twice in the space of two years ?

MEUTE were on main stage before Stromae in 2022 and this year in the tent, Apashe was in party arena in 2022 and then in the tent again this year

Be interesting where she would play after subbing for Eilish, she's not really a sub act for me. 

 

Would be amazing in the A38.

 

Although she is headlining Oya in her home country.

Really hoping on empire of the sun. What position would they get?


I’m guessing headliner but it wouldn’t look right to me in terms of all the headliners

 

Charli - pop

Chappell - pop

Timberlake - pop

Anyma - EDM

ASAP - not a very strong rap name

Empire of the Sun..?? Dance pop

 

Also I still don’t get what’s happening with Post Malone. They literally posted a “post box” emoji after Leaks bave pretty much confirmed it as well.

 

Unless Asap is coheadlining Post?

I really can't envision a festival the size of Sziget having Empire of the Sun as a main stage headliner in 2025. Sub at best imho or, hopefully, A38 headliner. ASAP also only sub-level imho, or a co at best.

    • As usual, despite some issues I had a blast and will be back next year because they keep delivering incredible lineups. My top 10:  mbv The Cure Viagra Boys Kneecap Little Simz The xx Geese Blood Orange Big Thief Rilo Kiley The top 3 are interchangeable as all 3 were 10/10 sets for me. I'd guess Massive Attack would've been in my top 5, so, naively I'll hope they're on the 2027 poster lol. 5th time's the charm, eh?
    • Right, I know this is going to divide opinion more than a secret set announcement, but it’s time we settled the most important question in festival history: What is the best sauce?   I’ve spent years researching this. Years. Countless meals. Countless food stalls. Countless chips consumed in fields while standing in a queue for a toilet that looked like it had survived several geological eras. And after all that, I still find myself returning to the same question.   Is it ketchup? No. Not like him.   Is it mayonnaise? No. Not like him.   Is it garlic mayo? Closer. But not like him.   Is it sweet chilli? A respectable contender. Yet still not like him.   Is it curry sauce? Potentially. But also not like him.   The turning point in my sauce journey came at Glastonbury. Specifically, near the legendary Goan fish curry stall. There I was, covered in approximately six different layers of dust, sunscreen, and regret, enjoying one of the greatest festival meals ever created. The sauce situation was immaculate. Balanced. Complex. Life-affirming.   Meanwhile, nearby, I witnessed something that permanently altered my understanding of both festivals and humanity.   A man was watching Slowdive with a crutch up his bum.   Not metaphorically. Not spiritually. Not artistically.   Actually standing there, watching Slowdive, with a crutch up his bum. And as I looked at him, silhouetted against the evening sky while dreamy guitars echoed across the field, I realised something important. The best sauce should aspire to greatness. Not like him. It should bring people together. Not like him. It should enhance the experience. Not like him. It should complement the main event. Not like him. It should be memorable. Though admittedly, like him. But preferably not like him.   This brings me to the Bucket Classification System.   For those unfamiliar, sauces can be divided into three categories.   Bucket I. Bucket I is the elite tier. The headliners. The sauces that could close the Pyramid Stage on a Sunday night and nobody would complain. These are sauces that elevate food beyond its natural limitations. A good garlic mayo belongs in Bucket I. A properly executed festival curry sauce belongs in Bucket I. Certain chilli sauces belong in Bucket I. The sauce equivalent of arriving at your tent and discovering someone has actually put it up correctly. Not like him.   Bucket II. Bucket II is respectable. Reliable. Dependable. Not spectacular, but solid. This is where standard ketchup often lives. A decent BBQ sauce. A reasonable burger sauce. The sort of sauces that show up, do their job, and go home. Unlike him. Not like him. Very much not like him.   Bucket III. Now we enter dangerous territory. Bucket III is where disappointing sauces go. Watery sauces. Sauces that taste vaguely of administrative errors. Sauces that appear to have been diluted with rainwater collected from a collapsed gazebo. The sauces that make you question your choices. The sauces that look at a perfectly good portion of chips and think, “How can I make this worse?” Like the butter chicken sauce I got served at the We Are Stupid Dosas stand. Or the sizzling beef burrito served with potato wedge sauce. These belong in Bucket III. Not like him. Although possibly exactly like him. It’s difficult to say.   I think the real test of a sauce is whether you’d cross a festival site specifically to get it. Would you leave your friends? Would you miss part of a set? Would you navigate through crowds of people dressed as bananas, pirates, and traffic cones? Would you walk from one side of the site to the other? If the answer is yes, then we’re talking Bucket I territory. If the answer is maybe, we’re looking at Bucket II. If the answer is no, straight into Bucket III. No appeal. No review process. No exceptions. Not like him.   I return often to that moment at the Goan fish curry stall. The food. The atmosphere. The music. The philosophical questions. The mysterious Slowdive spectator. Some people search for meaning in books. Some search for meaning in religion. Some search for meaning in art. I search for meaning in sauce rankings. Not like him.   And every year the evidence grows. Every year Bucket I becomes more refined. Every year Bucket II becomes more competitive. Every year Bucket III becomes more crowded.   And every year I remember the man watching Slowdive with a crutch up his bum and remind myself that while festival experiences may vary wildly, good sauce remains eternal.   Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him. Not like him.   So my current rankings are: Bucket I: Garlic mayo Proper curry sauce Premium chilli sauce Exceptional festival-exclusive mystery sauces   Bucket II: Ketchup BBQ sauce Burger sauce Sweet chilli   Bucket III: The watery unidentified substances occasionally found beside chips Anything described as “light” but tasting of sadness Any sauce that somehow makes food drier Sizzling beef burrito     Debate below. And before anyone asks: no, the crutch was not a sauce. At least I hope not. Not like him.
    • Now we're over for another year - headliner predictions time: Phoebe Bridgers Rosalia Bjork Doechii The Strokes Tame Impala Massive Attack   And the reunion band: Boards of Canada
    • €245->275 + fees early bird for 2025 ticket holders €265->295 + fees for non-2025 ticket holders My guess is they add a lot (another 30 euros) but keep it under 300 for the optics.
