All about Mad Cool Festival
Mad Cool is a music festival held annually in Madrid, Spain, since 2016. It chiefly features pop, rock, and indie music, as well as various DJs and electronic music performers. The 2016 and 2017 events took place in the Caja Mágica. The organisation then moved the festival to an open-air space in Valdebebas.
In the 2020 edition, the daily maximum attendance was reduced to 60,000 by the organisation due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and the length was expanded to four full festival days. Since 2023, the festival has taken place at the Iberdrola Music open-air space in Villaverde.
