About
Madrid’s flagship summer festival relocates to a new home in Villaverde for 2026 and uses the occasion to push its booking ambitions. The four-day bill is genuinely cross-genre, with Pulp, Foo Fighters, Florence + The Machine, Twenty One Pilots, Lorde, David Byrne and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds spread across headline slots that read more like a streaming playlist than a single scene. Underneath sit Wolf Alice, The War On Drugs, Pixies, Interpol and Kasabian for the rock contingent, alongside electronic names including Nina Kraviz, Richie Hawtin, Polo & Pan and The Blaze. Mad Cool has always tried to be the festival you go to for the sheer breadth of who it can convince to play Spain, and the 2026 lineup commits to that idea more clearly than any recent edition.
