Future Islands confirmed for Mad Cool Festival 2018
They join yesterday’s announcement of Queens of the Stone Age.

Future Islands have been added to the bill for next year’s Mad Cool Festival.
The band - who released fifth studio album, ‘The Far Field’ in April this year - join Queens of the Stone Age at the Madrid event.
As revealed yesterday, Mad Cool moves to Valdebebas – IFEMA, and expands to seven stages.
They’re also hosting a special event at KOKO in London this evening with sets from Monarchy and Haux - for more information on that, head here.
DIY will, once again, be joining Mad Cool Festival for the event as media partners, so keep your eyes peeled for news, previews and reports in the lead up to the festival.
