Mad Cool Festival has officially revealed its colossal lineup for 2026, celebrating its 10th anniversary with one of the biggest rosters in the event’s history. Set to return to Iberdrola Music Villaverde in Madrid from 8th to 11th July, the festival marks the milestone with a refined layout, reduced capacity, and a carefully curated program across fewer stages—designed to minimise artist clashes and maximise the fan experience.
Topping the bill are Pulp, Foo Fighters, Florence & The Machine, and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, alongside an impressive cast that includes Lorde, CMAT, Pixies, Wolf Alice, The Black Crowes, David Byrne, and Twenty One Pilots. The four-day celebration will also welcome performances from Kings Of Leon, Halsey, The War On Drugs, Moby, Jennie, Teddy Swims, and The Last Dinner Party, cementing Mad Cool’s legacy as a global live music powerhouse.
Beyond its headline acts, Mad Cool 2026 will showcase a blend of established favourites and rising stars including Kasabian, Interpol, Sigrid, Matt Berninger, The Vaccines, Holly Humberstone, and Midnight Generation. Electronic music fans will enjoy a dedicated area featuring Richie Hawtin, Boys Noize, Nina Kraviz, Polo & Pan, and Palms Trax, while Spanish and alternative talent rounds out the bill with artists like LA PALOMA, Aerea, Luxi Villar, and Hoonine.

Mad Cool Members can access pre-sale tickets from 17th to 20th November, with general sale beginning 20th November. With over 70 artists already announced and more surprises still to come, Mad Cool’s 2026 edition promises to be a defining moment in the European festival calendar.
