Next summer, Madrid’s Mad Cool Festival are set to celebrate their tenth anniversary, and they’re doing it with a bang: organisers have now confirmed the line-up for its 2026 edition and it’s set to be huge.

Fresh from releasing her brand new album ‘Everybody Scream’, Florence + The Machine will be returning to the festival for the first time since 2022, while rock icons Foo Fighters will also be returning to Madrid after last appearing at Mad Cool in 2017. Other acts announced today also include Wolf Alice, Moby, Lorde, Pulp, Pixies, David Byrne, Zara Larsson, CMAT, and The Last Dinner Party; the list goes on… 

Taking place from Wednesday 8th to Saturday 11th July, the event’s four days will also play host to a selection of talented local artists, including LA PALOMA,  Hoonine, and Aerea, Young Prado and Luxi Villar. The bill will also include performances from the future winners of the Mad Cool Talent and Mad Cool DJ Talent by Vibra Mahou contests, which are set to take place soon.

Tickets for the festival, which once again returns to Iberdrola Music in the city’s Villaverde neighbourhood, are on sale now via madcooltickets.com.
